Edge configuration with third application

AnthonyB.
over 3 years ago

Hello,

I've have a Edge 1030+ and Kickr Core smart trainer. Edge detect Kickr through ANT+ like a power meter. Application is configured through ANT and Kickr is recognize with FE-C. May I have interferences with this configuration ? Example : speed are not the same, and especially all workout from app are very hard.

If you have this configuration, could you explain me how you are configured ?

Thanks

    I see two method to detect sensors :

    - add sensor or

    - add home trainer in training menu

    What are the differences ?

    Apps like Zwift or Tacx TDA connect the trainer as FEC.
    The Edge running in parallel must not be connected via FEC.
    For the Edge, connect the trainer only as "normal" sensors (read only).

    I suppose for connect trainer as "normal", I must use training menu ?

    If you use an App on PC or tablet to control your trainer you need no second device to do the same. You are not allowed to control the trainer via a second device.

    To use an Edge in parallel has nothing to do with controlling the trainer! Your App does it!

    Therefore you must disconnect (delete) the FEC connection on your Edge - if there is one established (trainer menu).
    And then you search for sensors. Usually a trainer offers Speed&Cadence and Power.
    Your Edge is allowed only to listen (read) the sensors if the trainer is controlled by an App (PC, tablet…)

    You must not use trainer menu for that but sensor menu!

    Some apps will have their own calculation for speed based on power and cadence, whereas others may pair to a speed sensor and use that value. 

    The following info will be helpful in making sure your setup is dialed in. 

    • What app are you using? 
    • How is this app paired to your trainer? 
    • What sensors do you have paired to your Edge? 
    • How have you paired your trainer to your Edge?

    Sorry for the delay...
    I've used Rouvy and now, I'm testing Wahoo Systm.
    My app is connected through ANT+ to my smart-trainer (Kickr Core). My Edge is ANT+ connected to all my sensors (speed, cadence and power)
    My first configuration was to launch app, and Edge with indoor activity mode. This mode seems to be okay
    Secondary configuration, with training menu, workout from app are more easy. 

    In fact, I don't know how to configure Edge with application and trainer. I'd like to keep my Edge during all session to keep training values up-to-date
