Connecting PowerPod to MacBook Air with BLE

Post by BikeBill »

Is it possible to connect my Powerpod to a MacBook Air using Bluetooth instead of using the ANT+ USB adapter. I have been using the ANT+ USB adapter to connect to Zwift but it has been having problems. If possible, I would like to try connecting with Bluetooth instead.

Thanks

Sorry, but there is no way to do this through Bluetooth.

We supply a USB cable, one end of which plugs into your PowerPod, the other into the USB port of the computer. Where are you having problems? How does Zwift relate to your problem?

When I log onto Zwift, I connect to the Powerpod through the ANT+ adapter. This worked well with my old computer but with the new computer, I am having problems with Zwift either not recognizing the Powerpod or losing the signal. I'm not sure if the problem is with Zwift, the USB port on the computer or the adapter so I'm trying to do some trouble shooting as well as look for an alternative way to connect. I have a long USB cable so I will give that a try.

Thanks
