![]() ![]() You could control the training session using Golden Cheetah, but log everything on the Newton for analysis in Isaac. You can send ANT+ power both to Golden Cheetah and to the Newton. In ANT+ 'pairing' is not real pairing e.g. Golden cheetah also needs a computer, but is free and has F-EC. The best app I have found is however TrainerRoad, but it is for training and the video implementation is poor.ĩ) the cycleops virtual training app is the second best and there is a 12 day free trial period, so you can have a mess around.ġ0) the Zwift program needs a computer. I can see no reason, however, that you could not cycle up a virtual mountain in the App whilst logging everything on the Newton. For me I find it most annoying that it will not take any data that it can provide itself e.g. ![]() It also smooths out changes in Braking when at low cadence, although I think this is again related to the virtual flywheel.Ĩ) the Tacx App itself has limitations. It is possible, if you really stomp, to get the back wheel to slip, but overall I think the speed and Cadence, from the trainer, are probably quite accurate.ħ) on an entirely different matter the Bushido has a virtual flywheel and seems, to me, to work much better when the wheel is moving at high velocity, so stay in a high gear for even low cadence work. ![]() If you leave the S&C sensor on the bike I would move the magnets to avoid waking up that sensor. I think Velocomp should be able to confirm. I'm sure it can be graphed, but I wouldn't bodge on another trainer profile.Ħ) I haven't tested it but I suspect you could teach the Newton the details of the trainer's S&C profile (and Power) and it would hopefully autoswitch you would then have power, Speed, Cadence and all those other metrics you want. The Bushido has 'progressive resistance', which I think means resistance is non-linearly related to speed. I wouldn't trust the calibration of the trainer too much though - make sure tyre pressure etc. I haven't had a look, but I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a virtual power profile for the Bushido Smart yet, in which case you can send power ANT+ from the trainer to the Newton. I don't honestly know which is best for power: bushido or Newton. As the Newton has an interval training optional it would be really nice if it did do it (preferably a virtual ERG mode using power in), but I imagine that might be too hard to do.Ģ) F-EC and Power are separate ANT+ profilesģ) the trainer can be controlled and send out power/S&C both in ANT+ and BlueToothĤ) you will need a phone or tablet that can do BTLE to calibrate itĥ) when comparing the DFPM and the power from the trainer there is an error (even if it is just calibrated), although it seems quite consistent. I can tell you a few pseudo-random things and hope it answers your question.ġ) F-EC is part of the ANT+ FIT profile. I would help you out no problem, but I don't understand what you are saying. I actually have a Bushido smart, only 4 weeks, and a DFPM (Power2Max). To finish figuring this out experimentally and I am waiting on parts for the Tacx. Perhaps it would just work, I have no experience with a DPFM Slope, elevation and wind in this sudo trainer mode. But I would think it would be fairly easy (no?) to use a normal iBike bike profile to capture the speed,Ĭadence and power from the bike and record it and override lack of accelerometer derived power. I would imagine that a simple trainer profile is impossible due to the changing load that the virtual app commands the I do not desire the iBike to 'control' the smart trainer, only suck off the power data. I would like to continue collecting the power/speed/cadence, NP, TSS, KJĭata with the iBike. Works great even when I am running some virtual training app on the ipad, the iBike data is betterĪnd the CSV is great for GoldenCheetah, etc. I like collecting my trainer data with the iBike, and have been doing so for my ole Kurt Kenetic Road Machine for years The ANT+, as I understand it, sends power data out in standard power ANT+ format, like a DPFM. ![]() I have purchases a Tacx Bushido Smart trainer which uses ANT+-FEC protocol via ANT+ and BLE. ![]()
