Power stroke sensor location DFPM

Post by GooseRider »

Hi,

I am using my Aeropod with a Power2max NG Eco DFPM. Cadence info also comes from the DFPM. What sensor location should I choose for powerstroke?

Thanks,

Thx!! BTW. why is the wasted energy so much lower with the AeroPod compared to what I was used to with the PowerPod? Usually my wasted energy with the AeroPod is less than 1-2 watts.

PowerStroke works only when there is a crank-mounted cadence sensor on your bike. DFPMs that transmit cadence do not enable PowerStroke.

John,

Thank you for the clarification. Does the CdA function benefit from the Hidef sampling rate or is it only used for Powerstroke? Just wondering if I should change to 1 sec sampling.

Thanks,

CdA is not used with PowerStroke.

At present there is no way to switch data recording to 1 sec intervals...

BTW just a suggestion. If Aeropod/Powerpod is used with DFPM and no cadence sensor, then Isaac shouldn't show wasted watts to avoid confusion ...
