Thought I would give the Bkool iPad app a go so bought the wahoo ant+ adapter.
Turned off Bluetooth and ant+ is showing in the Bkool app but it's just not finding the trainer.
I have checked the adapter with the wahoo utility and that said it's working ok. Any ideas?
Trainer works fine with Windows PC.
that's the new bkool go trainer.I am sure I read that the App now works over Bluetooth so you don't need to adapter.
Just checked dc rainmaker app thread and apparently bt works with a Bluetooth enabled BKOOL turbo only
After a long time away from Bkool, having given up on the various bugs, tried the new Bkool sim on the iPad with Wahoo ANT+ dongle (via lightning adapter) and KICKR.
I did a session using a VR route.
Appears to be technically workable and overall feel and speed/resistance/watts potentially plausible.
However, the video was very stuttered and not really usable. Anyone got a good experience of this combination? And/or suggestions?
No, it sounds like something's wrong to me - it should be reasonably similar to what you find on similar terrain in real life. In fact I find I'm faster on Bkool on local rides I've downloaded to it because there's no reason to slow down for bends, junctions, traffic etc etc, and no headwind or anything else to slow you down! I have a Pro trainer connected to PC by Ant+ though, so a very different setup, so I can't really help with the reason for the problem you're having.I am new to riding on Bkool simulator and I have a few questions. I recently purchased a bkool go smart trainer. So I downloaded bkool on my iPad and got to riding. Synced it with my iPad with Bluetooth. I have done two easy 12 mile rides with only a few hundred feet of climbing. During the ride i averaged 11mph and I was working hard to do it. On the road I would easily average 17-18mph on a ride like this. Also said I only averaged 72 watts. Seems to me like their is something wrong. Even when I'm going downhill i can only push 4th or 5th gear. Is it supposed to be this hard or am I doing something wrong?
Hey Geoff:I don't think the bkool can do this, last time I used it, it was a bit simplistic.
I used to fix things like this in the Garmin Virb editor, not sure if this will work if you don't have a Garmin Virb.
Often I would have a sequence of video clips taken at times through a longer ride, as the battery on the camera doesn't last as long as the battery on the Garmin Edge. I liked to have the complete GPS trace show on the edited video, so I would used the Virb Editor to replace the GPS trace from the Virb with the complete one from the Edge. Then I would sync them up and overlay the GPS trace, speed, heart rate, etc. and export it.
To upload to Bkool, I would remove all the overlays and export just the video and GPX and these would import to the bkool editor quite well.
Cheers,
Geoff
