Wacky Tilt Readings
Posted: Tue Jan 27, 2009 2:00 am
I tried to calibrate an iAero over the weekend and had some dramas. I went over the same place I have done calibrations on the iBike I and II, did the coast downs on some quite smooth roads but got bad coast after bad coast. I noticed some really high power readings when trying out diffferent section of road and determined the tilt was way off. I did the tilt and wind offsets before I left home (got the good tilt message) and tried it again on the road. Once I did it again I got a good tilt and tried it out but no luck with the coast downs. I did the tilt again and it seemed to work as the coast downs were OK. Then I did the out and back cal ride, again it seemed OK.
Then on the way home the power and tilt readings were very high (I reckon about +3.5% tilt). I checked the mount and it is still rock solid.
I have attached the files, could someone else take a look and advise if it is the unit or anything I am doing?
The post calibration ride is uncorrected. Looking at the slope vs elevation power analysis, the tilt seems to be drifting quite badly.
