Hi bs24,

It doesn't make a difference if I connect the powermeters via ANT+ or BLE+ for my very specific request to track and to log the left/right balance.
It's simply not (yet) implemented in Locus.

Best regards

Hallo zusammen,

(wie) kann ich einen anderen Nutzer hier im Forum taggen, markieren oder erwähnen, so dass der Nutzer darüber informiert wird?

Auf anderen Plattformen geht so etwas, wie @BERNHARD.FRIESS, aber das scheint hier nicht zu funktionieren.

Auch in der Suche habe ich dazu nichts gefunden. Wer hat eine Idee?

Besten Dank vorab und viele Grüße

Bernhard

Hello All,

Just let me bring up this topic up again.

Has there been any change concerning tracking r/l balance together with power values from powermeters?

I understand that some work was done in a beta version. Did it make to the latest version, @menion ?

If not, what is required to get this feature implemented, which would allow me to get rid of ipbike...

Best regards

Bernhard

...
Anyway, there remains my main question "Also, what do you expect that app to do with these values?".
...

For the use case is exactly the following:

I'm using Locus Silver subscription to

• flexibly plan trips, especially when I'm doing multi day bike trips,
• navigate me on trips and
• record (=track) above activities.

I do not want to do anything with the power values or the l/r values within Locus but I upload the fit files to https://velohero.com and to https://intervals.icu.

The only potential use case I could see would be to display l/r values on a customized dashboard, nothing more!

Currently I use ipbike as a second app for tracking to get a fit file with the l/r values to be uploaded to https://intervals.icu. For me it would be perfect to get fit files including l/r values from Locus. And I'm also completely happy if it is a "Silver" feature.
Most probably I would potentially even upgrade to Gold if this is what is required...

Does this help, @Menion?

Hi Menion,

Pls excuse my delayed response,I didn't notice your feedback.

I assume that Ipbike logs the l/r value together with each power value in the track.

I don't know if it is feasible to log the l/r value to a GPX-file but I know for sure that the values could be logged in fit-files.

Just in case it would be helpful for you if you get a fit-file including l/r values in the track I attach a fit-file exported from Ipbike. As I log in parallel anyway with Locus I attach the fit-file from locus from the exact same tour.

Ipbike.fit

Locus.fit

Many thanks in advance for your consideration!
Best regards

Bernhard

Hi Menion,
would be great if Locus could record Power left/right. It would allow me to skip ipbike in the future.

Any plans?

Best regards and enjoy your weekend!

Bernhard

Hello Bernhard,
...
So if you find a moment, give it a try and let me know, thanks.

Hi Menion,

Today I had the chance to ride again. The percentage values visible on the sensor Page at the powermeter Seemeilen not to make too much sense.
It seemed that one value changed to arbitrary values between 0% and 100% and the other just showed the difference to 100%. Especially when I'm not pedalling and so I do not generate power, a 100%/0% seems awkward.

I have connected my sensors via BLE to LM and via ANT+ to ipbike and at least the recording of ipbike seems meaningful, see last diagramm:

Would it be helpful if you get the recorded file from ipbike, Menion?

If so, just let me know how I can get you the file.

Best regards

Bernhard

Hello Bernhard,

the sensor I use most probably does not support dual-mode (only a single sensor on the bike), so I can't test it directly. Also, I'm not sure, what to do with the "balance" value.

Anyway first test: in the next app (also in the next Beta version), the value should be visible in the "Sensors manager screen" when the sensor is connected.

So if you find a moment, give it a try and let me know, thanks.

Hi Menion,

Man thanks for your feedback! Where and how can I get the next Beta?
I will certainly check and provide feedback!

To your question: on dualsided power meters the balance value should update together with the power readings and I expect the value to be recorded constantly with the power readings (and other values like cadence, speed, altitude).

As a result, after a recorded ride, one can see if and where e.g. at steep hill climbs one has disbalances in power generation.

Best regards and Happy new year!

Bernhard

So it seems that I'm the only one person here who uses dual power meter with Locus Map as the recorder and with the expectation, that the "L/R balance" which is transmitted by the sensors everytime is meassured and recorded as well.

@Menion, do you potentially see a chance to check the code of the meassurement and recording of connected powermeters, please?

Hi there,

Lately I acquired two sets of Assioma Duo Shi power meter sensors, a pair for the MTB and one for the Gravelbike.

The sensors are mounted and the first ride was recorded:

You cannot view this attachment.

As the sensor is a dual model which measures power of both legs individually, it should be possible to also record both legs independantly. This allows to monitor disbalances between the two legs.
But it seems Locus Map doesn't record both value series?

Has anyone any experience with this topic?

I'm looking forward to your feedback!

Best regards

Bernhard

Hi All,

Meanwhile I purchased a set of Assioma Duo Shi powermeter which allow connection via both, BLE and ANT.

Now I figured out that Locus only supports powermeter sensors via ANT 

Why ist this?

Could Locus in the near future also support powermeter sensors via BLE?

This becomes more urgent as less and less devices support ANT!

Figured out now after a second check that powermeter sensors are also supported via BLE.

Great!

Best regards
Bernhard

This is how a similar area looks while using Lo-map North-rhine-westphalia on my phone running Locus Map.

What theme do you use?

Hi All,

As there was a new version of the Elevate themes released by OAM on Feb 13, 2018 I updated the modified themes as well.

During this course I also altered the corresponsing logo to indicate that the Elevate and Elevate_LE themes are changed.

Please find the URLs in the first post of this topic updated accordingly. Please delete the previous version of the modified Elevate and Elevate_LE themes.

Have fun!

And let me know if you have any issue or question!

P.S. I just figured out that the first files I provided today on my server for download hat an error. I corrected it and since now, 12:36 CET the files should work nicely.

...
So can anyone recommend a rugged phone (ideally with a handlebar mount, but that may be asking too much  ) has to be waterproof and is Android of course.
....

I recommend and use myself a Sony Xperia Z1, Android, cheap, ANT+, waterproof, external powerconnect...

Just perfekt!

My fault, no worries!
