calibration

Post by paulomarques83 »

well, I made the calibration according to the manual, however whenever there is a descent, decrease of the elevation, the power drops to zero, even pedaling. analyzing the gravico, it is noted the same. I would like some help to know how to proceed with another calibration.

Your PowerPod requires a special firmware update, in order to correct the operation of its wind sensor. Please email technicalsupport@velocomp.com for next steps, and reference this forum posting.

I have the same issue, I tried to calibrate the powerpod several times, always is stuck in yellow led. After this frustrating experience I tried the better accuracy, but I have a lot of power drops during the ride, Im a little bit disappointed.
Please analyze my rides, and check if I need the same firmware as suggested to paulomarques83

All procedures sent by Tom was made with success, the calibration ride was occur as expected and now I have a NASA POWERMETER in my bike.

Attached my Calibration Ride and a quick ride just to test it.

Could you please gently check my calibration ?

Good to know that my calibrations was a success !
Please take a look at this 34K ride, I had huge power spikes. How can I prevent this kind of power peaks

You were fine except for the first 8 minutes of your ride, where PP recalibrated itself.

Make sure you reattach your PP in EXACTLY the same position and you will have minimal issues at the beginning, too.
