Aero Sensor Companies Start Own Common Aero Device Profile: Got Tired of Waiting for Standard
www.dcrainmaker.com/2021/05/companies-profile-standard.htmlI’d presume that means we’ll see updated Connect IQ data fields that people can record these data points to, and perhaps we’ll see companies like Hammerhead, Stages, and Wahoo support it too as an interim solution.
Garmin Adds 25+ New Features to Fenix 7/Epix/Instinct 2, Shifts to Quarterly Features Updates

www.dcrainmaker.com/2017/11/forget-massive-fridaycyber.htmlYup, for a mere 8 hours that deal is back! It’s almost identical to the VIP deal that was run a few weeks ago, except this time it won’t include Wahoo.

A look at Pedal Brain
www.dcrainmaker.com/2010/09/look-at-pedal-brain.htmlBoth the Wahoo and iBike cases are a bit better sealed (with the iBike Dash being just about sealed safe to chemical weaponry as well), but I’ll trust that by time the final product is out, they’ll have fully validated the weather proofing angle.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra In-Depth Review: Finally Accurate?
www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/07/samsung-galaxy-watch-ultra-finally-accurate.htmlSamsung has most of the core data fields you’d want, though not quite near as many as their endurance-sports-focused competitors from Garmin/COROS/Suunto/Polar/Wahoo.
Week in Review: March 10th, 2019
www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/03/week-review-march-10th.htmlAnd while the company wants 3rd parties to develop for it, I can’t foresee that happening until 3rd parties see meaningful market share (which isn’t there today, given Wahoo for example is still only in the 1-2% range on a good day).
Hands-on: Wattbike introduces new Atom stationary bike (with ANT+/BLE and more!)
www.dcrainmaker.com/2017/09/wattbike-introduces-stationary.htmlBoth Garmin Edge and Wahoo ELEMNT/BOLT units support FE-C control of trainers, and that would now extend to the Wattbike Atom.

Finally, a calm weekend.
www.dcrainmaker.com/2010/05/finally-calm-weekend.htmlHopefully, they’ll add ANT+ support via Wahoo Fitness, or new applications will pop-up allowing us to leverage those sensors.
Back in the ice…
www.dcrainmaker.com/2010/12/back-in-ice.htmlI’ve gotta find someone that can write a quick app for the Wahoo Fitness ANT+ dongle to pull in multiple ANT+ power meter data streams concurrently.
