AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

I recently calibrated my PPod to work with my TT bike in addition to my roadie. The calibration and first few rides went as expected. Then I moved the pod back to my road bike and was unable to get the unit to connect to my Garmin 520. The unit simply flashed green for 10s or so when the button was pressed, and then shut off. I went out for another ride on Saturday with the same problem. So, I tried to connect through the menu of the Garmin. It finally connected after holding the button down for a few seconds, however, the wattage counted up from 50-100, as in the second half of a calibration ride. Then the wattage was extraordinarily high. A second ride right after this one was still messed up, with some high, but mostly really low wattage. I don't know why the connection error occurred, but am wondering if my calibration mixed up the bikes' sensors somehow.
Here are the profiles and the rides in question.

Profile (this may be the wrong one, I'll place the second in another post):
Two rides with incorrect data:

The second profile looks like it attached. Please let me know if you need any additional information to help troubleshoot this. Thanks!

Velocomp,

I'd really appreciate some help with this issue. Have I posted in the right place, or should I post to a different section of the forum?

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay in responding...

You've got three different ride files here, from 3 different bikes; at least, each of the 3 bikes has different sensors on it!

The ride file 09/30/xxsx_0746 is very short. It appears that PP was recalibrating itself and did not have enough time.

The other ride files look OK.

I'm not sure what you are asking me to do...

There should only be two different bike profiles with two sets of sensors. That's all I own, so there shouldn't be any more! It must be that the unit is getting confused due to the additional profile. I'll delete one and see what that does for me. I'm not sure where the third one came from...

Also, it looks like I posted the same ride file twice in the original post. Here's the longer one that had bizarre ride data:

What's happening is that, during the first 8 minutes of your ride, PP is recalibrating itself. You'll see that, after 8 minutes, all is well; your PP is properly calibrated.

Make sure your PP is mounted in exactly the same location, and that it can't rotate. That will minimize recalibration problems.

I created a whole new profile, since I saw the existing one somehow failed to recognize my cadence sensor. After the calibration ride, it looks like it picked everything up correctly.

One further question: can separate bike profiles share a heart rate sensor?

Yes, you can use the same HR strap. Make sure your HR strap is active when you do the pairing.

The HR sensor isn't active for my second bike profile. Can I add the wireless ID manually? Or is it possible to have the device attempt to detect it when that profile is active?

When your PP is set to the profile you want to add, simply do a new Scan, with all your sensors active. This will add the HR strap to your active profile, and change nothing else.

Is a scan done by holding down the button until the green light flashes?

Yes, press-hold for about 4 seconds, until the light starts to flash. Then, release the button.
