AP new calbration - new garmin connect app

[kdx200]

Hi,
i did the AP calibration with the new Velocomp garmin app.

I tried to follow the screen and i think i did it ok.
In the first step doing the "first 50%" the screen DID NOT show the figures..it only says "ride to the 50%" and there is a below bar that suggests that the calibration is being done. Then the screen also tells you to stop and back....again there is no figures..so i follow the "below bar" and thats it.

When done inmediately starts to show you the slope, wind and power. As i dont have a dpfm meter in this bike i assumed that is ok to not show the CDA and the AP is like a Powerpod. Ok with that.

John, can you please the files. MAybe the power numbers are a bit low.

I have no Powerstroke data as i had in my previous and beloved PPv5. Is there any addciontoal setup to do?

thanks

You used the Velocomp app calibration correctly! It won't show data during the calibration process...

I looked at your ride file. You have an extremely low CdA. Are you riding a TT bike? If so, how tall are you?

If you aren't riding a TT bike, then what kind of bike do you have?

Hi,

height 175cms
weight 70kg
Bike TT (the AP is under the extension bar as ever since.. years)
Tell me the next step to do please

thanks

Your CdA is too low. Load this profile into your AP using the command Edit/Edit Profiles/Import. Then, connect your unit to VA and load the profile into your unit. You should get higher watts...

Also attached is the corrected 7km ride file with your new profile.

got it!

i will be posting a new ride wth the updted profile.

By the way, the IQ app is no configurable as any fields i already have (traffic, tpms, etc)

It would be great to have the option to select which data you desire.... watts, cda, slope, ta.
Actually you must have one big field with all the data.
For example...the slope data coming from AP/PP is great and i use it in the hills climbs sections...now in the middle of the ride i need to go to the dedicated screen where i have the "velocomp field".... not confortable.

Also, the Newton Tracker app. I tried to nstall in the garmn edge. I ve an APK file you sent me some time ago (ts not at the Garmin Play and not n this forum as i searched carefully) and it can not be installed as it says its and old version and not supported in the actual Android,

thanks

Hi John,

new file attached. Can you check it...i think you can tweak the setup a little.

By the way, i still cant use the newton tracker... maybe there is a new APK file but i cant find it.

thanks

Here's how to tweak things:

1) You are doing closed loop laps, so adjusting your wind factor is acceptable. If the file isn't for closed loops, then adjustment is risky
2) Your unadjusted file shows watts of 156.6. and a wind scaling balance of 1.0--this means your wind readings are slightly high, leading to higher watts
3) Click on lap 1. It will then be highlighted

4) Hold the shift key and then click on lap 21. All 21 laps will be highlighted

5) Right click and select "Check Device Calibration based on laps 1-21

6) On the next screen you'll see the corrected profile. WSB is 0.0 (as it should be) and watts are reduced slightly to 148.6W. Click Accept to implement these changes

ok, very clear.

how is the procedure to send this new setup to the AP?

By the way, is there any place to download the Newton Tracker app?

thanks

1) Connect your PP to VA
2) Do the procedure above to correct your wind scaling
3) After correcting the ride file, go to Edit/Edit Profiles/Extract from Ride file. This will transfer the corrected profile into VA
4) The corrected profile will be highlighted. Use the command "Send to Device" to transfer the corrected profile to your PP

No update on Newton Tracker/Android; however, note that you can get GPS info from your Garmin into VA
