Excuse my ignorance but does this mean that if I want app's running on my Win XP laptop to control the resistance (lets say TrainerRoad). I need to get a IOGear Bluetooth adapter and then hope that drivers are worked out.
Alternatively I could use my new ipad to control resistance. But are there any apps for the ipad that allow custom workout creation?
Yes, once the driver situation is sorted out.
Alternatively, yes, you could use the iPad.
Wahoo's own app (Wahoo Fitness App), will actually include a workout creator. It's not quite in there as of 1/16/2013 - but it will be there prior to units arriving on peoples doorsteps, that I know. It talking with the Wahoo guys, the functionality will roughly be in the same ballpark as something like the Garmin Connect or GTC workout builder. And for the most part, that allows you to program just about everything on earth.
That app will work on both iPhone and iPad.
I am sure that it is my reading comprehension skills that need work here, but I'm not 100% sure I understand.
Let's say I like TrainerRoad and the various workouts on their site. Let's say I'm happy paying them $10/month rather than creating my own workouts via the Wahoo App. Let's say I want to do their Eichorn workout (2x20s) with my SRM-equipped bike. On my KK Rock n' Roll, I need to concentrate on maintaining correct power intervals, using gear choice and cadence. With the KICKR's erg mode, that should not be necessary, as power will be constant and I can self-select cadence and maintain the correct power interval. The question is, will TrainerRoad control the KICKR's power level, adjusting it according to the power interval called for by the TrainerRoad workout as I progress through a workout? It seems the answer is yes, but that my computer needs to have Bluetooth Smart. I have a 2011 Macbook Pro, a current generation iPad and an iPhone 5, so it seems like my best bet would be running TrainerRoad on the iPad. However, with the correct Bluetooth adapter, my Macbook Pro should work. Do I have this right?
