AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Hi John, i did several rides recently and this is the one for today. The IQ field for the PP stills do weids things when i hit the lap button. It crashed every time. ALSO i did like 20 laps, but the file only shows 3. check it thanks! Our connectIQ app has not been updated for 1050 compatibility. Y...

The registration process for Android phones is the same as used with the iOS version. We are highly confident the Android version will work, but we don't have an Android phone for testing. If you use an Android phone, please follow the setup procedure and let us know that things are working properly...

The (worn out) server for Velocomp GPS Tracker has been replaced. To use the new server you will need to re-register and login to it, just one time, both in Velocomp Aero and in the smartphone GPS app, in order to get GPS stored in your smartphone added to your ride files. Here is how to do it: 1) M...

Download Velocomp Wireless for iOS iPhone/iPad from Apple App Store

This app works with any PowerPod Wireless or AeroPod wireless product

Can the timeout be changed to an hour instead of the 30 minutes or so it is now? I think most of us that stop it's for a quick lunch/coffee break. I've also experienced this and having to remember to turn it back on. While we are on feature requests - a fellow rider yesterday had a great idea - wha...

Hmm...do you have a DFPM on your bike? If not, are you close to any other power meters? If not, then it's likely this is your PP. The number refers to its ANT+ ID. The easy thing to do is to go for a short ride. If you see power numbers on your bike (and you don't have a DFPM) then this is your PP d...

any hint?

thanks!

Sorry for the delayed response.

The Edge 1050 requires an update to our app. The developer working on this has not finished the update.

Hi John. I also bought a PowerPod for my Elliptigo. I am having some problems with setup. I left a message with support a couple days ago and also posted on a forum but haven't heard back. Would it be possible to schedule a call with support to help me out? Dan I understand you are in contact with ...

It is true that the Newton's electronics will slowly discharge the battery when not in use. That is normal. I think your 12-13 hours of usage is also normal. It is a bit of a crap-shoot with a Newton that has not been used for years. I sometimes find Newtons that I haven't used for years, and when I...

Please email Tom at technicalsupport@velocomp.com for information regarding a replacement part.

Yes, you can trade in your PP (even with its broken tab) for a new PowerPod wireless:

Hey John, Thanks for your patience. I have alternated quitting Va and Isaac when I tried to connect, since you told me that before. When I do the Silicon Labs install, which I have done three times now, it shows me that it is installed correctly. Thanks for clarifying that the default comms path fo...

Tom is correct that you can use VA software to check power level.

My experience is that recharging every 3-4 weeks is sufficient. Batteries do degrade over time, but I'm still running my Newton, 9 years later, without problems (though it discharges a bit more rapidly).

I don't think your Silicon Labs drivers are properly installed. When installed correctly, you should see a green box around the USB icon, both in Isaac and VA, when you connect your Newton. Note that you cannot have both Isaac and VA running at the same time. The "choose device" image you ...

I deleted and successfully reinstalled the driver. I did a hard restart of my Newton. Then I tried to connect to both AV and Isaac. Isaac said it had connected to my Newton, but it wont recognize my device. AV just endlessly scanned for devices. Obviously, it is set for wireless, but I cannot see h...

Place the cursor in the stats field, then right click. You will be able to select "Advanced Stats". This should fix the problem.

Try reinstalling the driver.

Wireless is a great step forward for those who have a wireless device. However, my Newton obviously is not, and ever since accepting the upgraded Velocomp Aero software, my newton is no longer detected as connected by hardwire. I am using the same connecting wire that I have used for quite some tim...

We just released VA 1.0.28.

One of its features is that you can drag multiple files into the window; when you do so the "merge file" option will appear, allowing you to merge the many files into one big file.

Try importing a .FIT file. That should work...

Solved. The instruction to allow system extension to load is a bit unclear. There is an option to say OK or to go to mac system settings. Should clatify that the user MUST go to the allow extension to load at login setting BEFORE hitting OK. Once i did that — SUCCESS. New software looks good! Good ...

Hi:

Your ride looks very good; I tweaked your profile a bit to take advantage of all the laps you were doing.

Yes, you can trade your PP for an AP or PP Wireless!

Hi, I think that this might be common to many riders. We take long rides and often take brakes, resulting on Aeropod powering down. The issue is with Isaac/Velocomp-Aero software now logs the ride as two rides. Combining the rides in the sftwr is cumbersome as this is needed for all of our rides. I...

Hi John, Do you have any updates to share? Thank you Yes, actually, quite a few... 1) We just released VA version 1.026, which adds many new features for aero analysis: A. You can select individual laps, or combination of laps, for aero analysis. Click on the "box" for each lap you want t...

In Garmin Express/Connect one of the Charts is called Time Advantage. I think the data is part of the AeroPod 2.0 IQ app. This does not make any sense to me as the max range on the plot is 5 - MILLION. So something is not getting incorporated. Included is the extract from Garmin Connect for that pa...

Sharing yet another file from today. Config A: Laps 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, <gap> Laps 23, 25, 27, 29 Config B: Laps 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, <gap> Laps 39, 41, 43, 45 Config C: Laps 31, 33, 35, 37 The intra-lap and intra-group variances of analyzed CdA, both were high. As an example, for Config A: Laps 2 to 10...

I know we're talking about this in the other thread, but I wanted to mention that I observe that effect of turn-around on the analyzed CdA on the file I shared above too. Analyzed CdA of a group of laps that include test laps and intermittent turn-around laps (< 0.5 miles) is not equal to the avera...

Is this ride on the bridge where you did earlier rides?

We are taking a look at this ride file.

Your AP is pointed down more than is recommended. I would get it eye-ball level, then lock it in to make sure it can't rotate.

We are delighted to announce a completely new series of products, software, and apps, all of which communicate wirelessly: 1) New "PowerPod Wireless" power meter. PowerPod Wireless enables full wireless compatibility with the new Velocomp Wireless app, and also Velocomp Aero software. NOTE...

I know I need to weigh-in on this topic...there are lots of good comments and observations.

I'm working on something right now that all of you will know about in a day or so...until then, keep the topic going and the ride files coming!
