Have you set you PP with calibration "Best" or "Better"?
I believe "Better" just lets you ride and there is no indicator count up/down.

Re: Restore original downloded file
Check the computer directory where your ride files are stored - there may very well be an original version there that you can star over with,

Which version of PP?
John -
I have 2 PP - a v3 and a v4.
I have attached screen shots of both SAs.
Can you tell me which is which?
Thanks.

i am assuming you have installed the Aeropod widget on your Garmin. And have the appropriate screen on the Garmin to view that data coming from the AP.

Your Garmin should see the HRM - you can in searching for sensors select just HRM and the Garmin will isolate to finding your heart monitor - if you are wearing it.

Re: POWERPOD BLE WITH GARMIN AEROPOD APP
So you have some success -
As John has pointed out - BLE does not send the key information you want to see. The PP transmits the correct data to the GARMIN - only using the ANT+ format.
So the GARMIN has to be paired with the ANT+ output of the PP -

I suggest you carefully read the instructions for your Garmin device. The 1040 is capable of communicating using either technology. You must select the ANT+ version of your PP found. First setup of the pairing may show both - the PP needs to be awake - rotate your wheel with the speed sensor to acco...

Just a couple thoughts Clearing memory or erase all ride data using Isaac? Clearing memory - does that mean a reset - hold the button for 12 seconds - then you would see a new calibration.

Re: new Trek Speed Concept Blendr Duo Base and Computer Mount and Device Mount Location
I am not sure that the AeroPod or PowerPod are that useful when on a trainer.
The inertial sensitivity is compromised by the lock down of the bike, so I suspect that almost all power to the drivetrain will not be detected.
What wind resistance could possibly be converted to any impact on power?

John -
Anyone come up a few ideas to use PowerStroke to help tune in saddle height and/or tilt?
I have been looking at mine as I make some small tilt changes and a few mm of height (+/-) and seem to see some changes - in the l/r and up/down profiles depicted on the animation.
Thanks

Until this Spring I have used a Garmin Cadence Sensor on my bikes.

This Spring I went to a Wahoo cadence sensor and up to now I ha...

Re: 75 km ride but only 60 km recorded
Suggestion:
If you want more time available try turning off the Power Stroke feature - it consumes more battery life as well as data storage.
Do you really need to see your pedaling efficiency on long rides?

The wheel set is set for gravel - but most riding is on decent asphalt. Roval - SLX-24, Specialized 30-32mm Tires at about 40 PSI. Which probably does raise the Car from normal road values.
