No Cadans (rpm) in My E-training

[roelof]

Hi,

I have a Elite Direto XRT. In My e-training I do not get the Candans (rpm) In settings I see no Powersensor. I can not connect to the Powersensor, but this is integrated in the Direto isn't it?
In for example RGT Cycling is see the rpm.
Speed, Power, Hr are all ok.
Do I missed something?

Regards, Roelof

Hi

Direto doesn't have an internal cadence sensor.
All the Direto trainers use a sensorless cadence algorithm that calculates cadence basing on microvariations of speed that happens when you give a pedal stroke.

When you do the configuration, if you want to use this sensorless cadence, you don't have to pair anything in the cadence option in the settings.
This is what you should see in the setting menu if you have configured it properly:



If your configuration is like this, you should see cadence during the training. Let me know.
Please notice that this algorithm ensure a good approximation, but it may be imprecise in some situations (especially when the chain is not well tensed, for example at high cadence and low power).
