AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

There are a number of commercial users of the software packages provided by Silicon Labs that base their products on the Mac/Apple computer system. Visiting the Silicon Lab forums highlights those users and their combined irritation (mild description) that Si Labs has not yet released the needed dri...

Labview software will require an update for Big Sur - about to be released - where do you stand on getting the Labview package updated?

When I first had my PP I had to figure out how to depress the button. It can be a bit tricky and I suspect that proper button action is not exactly the same - but close - for each unit - meaning some are easier to depress than others - or is ti just a "fat finger" effect? But that took jus...

There are details in the directions. All directions for the PP can be found in another section of the forum. https://velocompforum.com/viewforum.php?f=12 Sensors need to be awake. All of these are available in a different section of this forum - including a description of all LED colors and when the...

Hold the button on the PP for about 4 seconds - LED will flash.

This resets the PP back into calibration mode - and then go back and start the calibration procedure.

The Garmin needs to find a Power sensor - I suggest you read a bit more about operating the Garmin first and pairing a power meter to the Garmin, as well as other sensors. After that - you need to make sure that you go for a ride and follow the calibration procedure for the PowerPod. The LED flashes...

I took 2 cal rides today - back to back. But I cannot figure out how to get each one analyzed - when I read in the files Isaac picks just the last one. I wanted to do this to see how they would compare if taken in this manner - the same location and the same trail conditions. I have also bee noticin...

One of the merits of beta testing to a reasonably broad audience is to minimize not only likely bugs, but to ensure that functionality meets expectations This includes interface requirements - Human User Interface is part of that - not just does this button perform. I am happy that the Garmin data f...

So I finally have an example of this issue. I have a screen capture of Garmin Connect output from the ride - showing cadence lost at about 36 minutes for ~4 minutes - but power (only coming from PP3) that lasted about 1 minute - so I think there is some evidence that PP3 was seeing cadence === Howev...

I have a Specialized mount designed for the top end bikes - S-WORKS - in it they have mounts for many of the bike computers as well as Go-Pro cameras. You assemble the top and bottom yourself for whatever combo. I used the Garmin top and the Go-Pro underneath - in a similar fashion as Velocomp provi...

John - I have been experimenting with power stroke as a means to tune in a saddle height - basically riding the same stretch of trail over and over to get enough data at any particular setting, then making a 5-10 mm adjustment and repeating the same course. Any thoughts on what you might see - say t...

I have gravel and road wheel sets for my new bike - AND I have a speed sensor unique to each wheel set - this eliminates any fiddling with ISAAC or otherwise. Each set has a different tire size, minor differences to the total weight. So by having the modest additional cost of another sensor, I just ...

I am also seeing the font issue.

Other than that, it is great to have the other data fields "gone"

The Garmin computers allow you to create your own panel. Currently, the suggested layout for the AeroPod app was described as 2 data views. The top (or Bottom) data was the aeropod 2x2 and the other could be your choice of anything else captured by the computer. The suggested data was POWER. It is e...

The best scenario is to leave the PP mounted on the bike and never move it or take it off. If you cannot do that - never move the mounting bracket on the bike and just take the PP off - but when you put it back on it needs to be tilted as far as possible (not moving the mounting bracket) so that it ...

What kind of cadence sensor are you using? If it is magnetic, perhaps the extra effort on the cranks is shifting the magnet out of range? Just a guess.

You might try removing the power channel in the Garmin sensor setup and researching for it. The gamin may select or find both a BLE and ANT+ version and you want the ANT+ channel - this information is in the sensor details. That was a problem I had when I first got my Edge 830. Also, double check wh...

Hey - Have you tried experimenting by moving the entire mount one way or the other and doing a cal ride, etc.? Your vision of level may be a mistake - of course not dismounting the PP between rides helps. What exactly are you using to gauge the PP is "level"? Is the ground under the wheels...

Web is reporting RANSOMWARE as the culprit - still down today - Friday.

The Garmin Beta site is organized by family of computer - Edge 830 is a different link than Edge 520 and so on - If you download a new firmware installer, which may be a beta, the dowloaded folder will contain a different file that will take you back to the last stable (non beta) version of the firm...

An observation for those owning PowerPods, not AeroPods - and others may not agreee, for sure: If this had been designed a little differently - one line having wind and slope, the other with Cda and time advantage - and as two separate setups not a 2 by 2 - but 2 separate 1 by 2 boxes - those with P...

Is the speed sensor on the front hub?

If you look in the folder on your computer where the rides are stored, cal rides will be there, too - with "cal ride" in the name.

What happens if you just stop and turn around when the 0-100 reaches 50 and you go back to the start - don't qait or expect it to stop at 50 exactly - jut within a couple and turn around.

Like any other folder, you can copy that folder to a place you want to use for storage. In the new Windows installation put the folder and contents where you want it. Run ISAAC and use the folder ICON in the application, or under the File Menu, point to the location where these files have been copie...

Based on what John is saying - I think to get the most information from changes in tires, tire pressure, maybe clothing and any other variables you might think about - without getting a AP version and DFPM (which allows a few more degrees of freedom to experiment over) - then using the same section ...

That sounds cool - plenty of new users to gather up!

I suppose if you want to see how much power the electric motor has - then it would make sense

So John - What can we as PP/AP users do to help persuade Garmin to get their %%%%% together? We are owners of both your device product as well as theirs. You would think that if we could send a series of "suggestions" to Garmin they might do something. Admittedly they have their own power ...
