What can this connect to?

[travisvanneste]

This will be my first arduino project, so forgive the newbie question..

I'm looking to connect this to Wahoo fitness app (or anything else really) - just wondering if this is going to send both the power data and cadence out via bluetooth... The end goal of course is to work with something like zwift, but at first just to be able to log data.

Wahoo appears to look for bluetooth sensors, just not sure if it will recognize this as a sensor?

KBikeBLE appears to apps as a standard bluetooth power meter, providing power and cadence. Much of my personal use has been with Wahoo X and it worked just fine.

That’s great! Looking forward to bringing Bluetooth connectivity to two old M3 bikes that I own. You did great work putting this together! I may 3d print an enclosure to make the new computer attach to the bike…. Or I may try and use the old display as it looks like someone else who commented on this did…. Really all I’m interested in is the Bluetooth functionality. Thanks again for your great work! Travis W. Van Neste Van Neste Surveying 3845 40th Ave South Minneapolis, MN 55406 952-686-3055

So I got this working with Wahoo - reading power and cadence - any way for it to get 'speed' to wahoo? I'm sure the Keiser computer gets its speed from cadence / power?

The CPS protocol, the standard for power meters, provides only power and cadence. This is because power can directly measured on a stationary bike. Speed is sort of an abstraction since it depends upon gear ratio and wheel diameter, and the bike has no gears or wheels!

I’m glad that it’s working for you!
