Wind sensor calibration
Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2018 9:57 pm
I have ridden with my new Aeropod a couple of times, first a calibration ride and then the next day a regular ride. I didn't detach the Aeropod between rides so the position was exactly the same for both.
I noted early on during the second ride some very inaccurate wind speed results. I stopped and occluded the Pitot tube with my finger; the Aeropod showed a wind speed of -2.5 mph. I verified that the Pitot tube did not have any debris/blockage.
On my old Newton I could have done a wind speed calibration ... but I don't see any reference to that process in the Aeropod information. Or maybe I just missed it.
I am a bit concerned by the unreliable wind speed measurement.
When this happens is there a way to calibrate the wind sensor without forcing a full re-calibration?
