Aeropod working only 5% of time

Post by Johan »

Hello i just received my Aeropod, i think i've done all the initial set-up in the right way :

- charging
- installing issac on mac
- set-up profile 1
- mount on the bike
- pair with bike pod (bontrager DuoTrap Ant+ / BT, with a new battery)
- pair with edge 820 / suunto 9
- calibration

Calibration worked as intented 0w -> 50w and 50w to 100w, then the pod start displaying power for about 3', and nothing 0w.
After 10' suddenly it worked again for somes minutes then 0w again.
Later i tried a new calibration while, and the same seems to work 3' mins then 0w, etc...

Obviously this is not correct...

Please post .ibr ride files and we will figure it out.

Actually, it is your cadence sensor that is working only 5% of the time.

When cadence = 0, power = 0. Your cadence sensor is sending its signals intermittently. This is why you aren't getting good data.

I opened your ride files, highlighted the entire ride, then used the Isaac command "Tools/Repair/Repair Selection for missing cadence". All of your power data was there, in all three ride files.

You need to move your cadence sensor magnet so that it is working consistently. This will fix your problems.

Thanks john for your help,
this is what i suspected BUT the strange part is that on my watch i get cadence from the pod 100% of time.
I'll make test with another bikepod.

You are using a combined speed/cadence sensor. Sometimes these are a problem.
