24.19 and cadence sensor issue

Hi,

My Edge 1040 is now running 24.19. I can add a cadence sensor (along with other sensors) to the unit without issue.

However, during a ride/activity the unit keeps beeping and notifying me that the cadence sensor is connected, like every 10/15 seconds. I know it is.

Why does it need to keep telling me? I did not have this issue with build 24.18. So is this a bug, a cadence sensor issue or something else?

    Very likely because there is an un-notified disconnection before each connection notification, only "connections" are notified not disconnections. So the question is why are there now some many frequent disconnections??

    When I have been chasing this question (during a beta) in regard to my "smart" (?) trainer I captured the ANT RX/TX Logs and corrolated the events to "connection" messages and could see a disconnection just before each connection. I feed the data to the developers and the good news was that during the beta releases the frequency decreased and finally stopped BUT that was for the Trainer Control Connection. A lot of people report a lot of disconnections on many devices over many years and some users never see any?? As far as I can work out the disconnections are related to interference from other sensors, phones, active wi-fi (regardless of there being an active connection) .

    Is your cadence sensor ANT or BT connection?

    It can be very frustrating

    Hi,

    Cadence is ANT+.

    I spoke with Garmin. They investigated my issue and told me that my cadence sensor was at fault :(

    What sensor?

    I'm using a cheap MooFit speed and cadence sensor with no issues. Was like 10 bucks on Amazon

    Is this the real lantern rogue from YouTube doing Garmin tech support on the side? Lol
