PowerPod, cadence sensor and DFPM, for PowerStroke.

[pmellen]

Hi All,

I want to make PowerStroke as accurate as possible.

In my setup I have both a magnet based cadence sensor (on the left hand side, above the chainstay) and a DFPM (Rotor 2INpower).

I can see that both the "cadence sensor" and the DFPM are paired to the PowerPod ( in Edit -> "Edit Profiles" -> "Wireless IDs" ).

I have read that some of the "magnet less" cadence sensors are unreliable or need pedaling to start at a consistent angle (of the crank revolution) versus when the crank (and magnet) passes the cadence sensor. Considering regular "on road" cycling, I do not think it suitable solution to start pedaling at the same angle when re-starting cycling every time, there are too many other things to be concentrating on.

My questions being;
1 Working on the basis that both cadence sensor and DFPM are paired to the PowerPod, for accurate PowerStroke, which signal is used? Cadence sensor? DFPM?
2 The Rotor 2INpower has the capability to "know" the angle of crank revolution, can the PowerPod interpret this angular data? Or does the same limitation apply for the "magnet less" cadence sensors?
3 Is the cadence sensor redundant in my setup?

Many thanks and kind regards

Your question is beyond my pay grade; I will need to ask our firmware developer...
