AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Super, I'm going to test the procedure you suggested after next ride. I would like to try updating that HR sensor , without a cal ride.
Thanks, KB

Hey John, Guess what I discovered ? When I downloaded a ride from yesterday, in VA, (because I had an issue with the Velo Tracker a while back), I clicked "get GPS from activiety File" , the data from my new HR monitor was imported. Of course, the profile still contains the old HR monitor ...

Hello John, I'm in the process of testing and converting to Linux in the future. (I'm not going through a hardware incompatibility issue with W12) Exactly what does not work with v3-v5 ? NOTE: OLDER VERSIONS OF POWERPOD V3-V5 DO NOT ACHIEVE FULL WIRELESS COMPATIBILITY. My main issue, with using Velo...

Super, Thanks John. I'll follow your suggestion. Garmin has all that info, too. KB

Ooops, sorry John, one last question, should I perform this procedure , just prior to going on a ride ? Or just turn off after the procedure ? My bikes are stored next to a computer, so what ever you suggest, works. Again, thank you. KB

Wow ! Thank you John. Just to clarify , item 1, is just the procedure . I don't perform anything until step 2, correct . Sounds easy enough. In step 1, you wake up all your sensors, including HR, and then press-hold your PP button for 4 seconds, until it starts flashing. Release the button. Your se...

Okay, I got to step 5, all I see is "Profile ready to Go" and "Force Calibration ride ", which I did not press yet. I don't see "Configure Manually"

Wow ! Thank you John. Just to clarify , item 1, is just the procedure . I don't perform anything until step 2, correct . Sounds easy enough.

Hello Guys, Had to replace my Heart Rate monitor sensor/strap . Will I need to do a re-calibration to add or just live without that data ? Data is also collected in my Garmin software .

Thanks. KB

Thanks guys, advise taken. Yes, I have discovered the new battery status in the new software. Super !!

Hello John,

Question, should I periodically charge the PP during winter storage, if so, how often ?

Thank You.

Thanks John, will do.

Hello John, Last year I needed a battery replacement, now I was adjusting the PP and snugging the mount screw, and yes (1st time Ver 2?) I broke the Mount. How much for a Ver. 4 body ? And address to send .

Good day, John. Well, still not working. And went down the complete list of checks, as suggested by AI (ChatGpt). only one item left, un-install and re-install (that was a bite of a challenge the first time). Maybe I"ll save that for a rainy day. But, I have discovered , I can get the gps data ...

Thanks John, I'll let you know tomorrow , how smart it was. I've used it a lot, when setting up Linux computers.

Now I have AI, I presented the issue and got this response :It's frustrating when an app like Newton Tracker stops recording after a short period! This is a common issue with many recording apps on Android and can be caused by several factors. Here are some ideas and troubleshooting steps you can tr...

That's odd. It was working perfect, on my last ride in Nov. 2024. Nothing has changed. So I'm dead in the water ?? Thanks KB

Hello John,

No where on the NT app, can I find a settings menu, as you show. Attached is all i find, and pushing any icon, doesn't bring up the settings menu like you show. Help . Thanks. KB

Now I'm really lost . Are you talking about the phone (I use Android) apt ? I don't see a page like that ((Ver 1.2). I have "welcome", "setup (Acct info)"and "record". Everything was working fine, until I ended my season last year. (Same thing on my indoor trainer, I le...

Hello John, Since the servers have fixed, I've notice an issue with the app. Newton Tracker . It starts, the recording time starts, then after some time, it stops. I get maybe 0.25 mi. down the street, and the recording has ended. I appear to be logged in. Mid ride, I'll restart it, only to check la...

Hey John, Thanks. no hurry, raining up here.

Hello John,

Is there an issue with VeloComp Tracker ? Can't seem to log in or or view tracking data . Current firmware is 10.03.

Thanks, Ken B.

Hello John, It's a new season . A followup from the last post. It appears I was "Hyper-active" when those HR spiked . All rides this year , show normal heart rates. So issue is done. Thanks. Ken

Yep, I got that John . Yep, I'll wait to next year. Thanks.Ken B.

tachycardia ????

Hard reset on PP ??

Yes, I've using the new HR for at least 2 months, with normal readings. This was my last ride of the season . Never had an issue with Garmin. I'm indoors for the winter, and HR strap is performing normal.

Ken B.

Now that I look at previous rides, it's only this file, and was last ride of season . It looked normal in Garminconnect .

This is a new (2mos old) Garmin HR strap/monitor.

Ken B.

Hello John, Just reviewing some data, and I noticed the HR data , along left side of data window , in both Velocomp and Isaac reads 6000 - 11000 bpm . Can't seem to find any setting to change this to read normal BPM .

Thanks, Ken B.

Looks good,. all working. Thank you, John.

Great, thank you John .

Hello John, NT has been working well, until today. It tries to upload ride, but "Ride File Upload Failed". It tries to upload, every time i activate the app. Any ideas ? Thanks.
