PowerPod 6.41 with a DFPM

Post by skyracer »

I have the powerPod with firmware 6.41 and I have several questions:
1. Is the CDa report supported by this version?
2. How do I link the powermeter (mine is an xCadey xPower2) to the PowerPod to report the CDa to me? Also, if the DFPM potentiometer reports cadence, why doesn't PowerPod see it? Is an additional cadence meter necessary (I have it, but I would like to ignore it)?
3. I already have the app installed on my Garmin 1000, but it doesn't report anything.
4. I did a round trip on an average slope of 4%. the report on the rise is lower than the DFPM, and on the descent is ridiculously high.
I tried unsuccessfully to combine the garmin .FIT file with the PowerPod file in Isaac, doing so only seems to detect GPS and speed, but not the power reported by the DFPM. I attach the files.

1) No

2) You can't. Your unit does not support CdA measurement

3) What app?

4) What is your DFPM reporting? Export your FIT file in .tcx or .gpx format to merge with Isaac ride file.
