First O & B calibration with Fenix 6 Solar

Post by renton82 »

I'm trying to do 1st o&b calibration ride with my power pod updated to 6.40 fw without success... I set up in Isaac software "Best accuracy" and after paired my ibike speed and cadence sensor to my power pod, unit led went to solid yellow; after this step, i've rode my bike for about 10 seconds but led stayed yellow (instead to flash red/green), so i started to go and i saw power data filed increasing from 0 to 100 without stopping at 50. When it reached 100, power data field started to measure my "watt" as normal (i think). I repeated this procedure 2 times (after every calibration i have to go at home take my bike to 4th floor without elevator ecc...). What can i do?

You might be OK as is. It sounds like your cal ride was completed in "best" mode.

Please post a .ibr ride file from Isaac and I will take a look and adjust it as necessary.

Ok, but why I can't complete O&B calibration ride? Tomorrow I'll try for the 3rd time to calibrate my power pod than I'll post here my ride file...
Thank you for now!

I don't remember details of FW 640. It may not enable O&B calibration.

I don't want you to be frustrated, so please post a ride file and I will check it.

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.

I have never tried it because I was waiting the right combination of led lights; also power data field continued to increase instead of stopping at 50...

As I said in a previous posting, you have one of the original PowerPods, from early 2016. Your PowerPod uses the original instructions, attached.

I suspect you are already OK, but until you post the requested .ibr ride file I have no way of knowing.

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.

I can't find any folder on my pc with cal ride name, i've looked into Documents/Ibike Rides but there are only CSV export copies folder and NewtonSampleRide_HiDef.ibr file.

However i'm sure my powerpod is calibrated because after i reached 100W it starts to count my watt... why i can't find any ride .ibr file?
As i told before, I have connected Powerpod to Isaac but when try do download ride data it tells me : "there are no new ride to save".
