Any update on Powerbeam compatibility with the new Windows desktop app?
We have a development branch that has it done. The only thing that sucks is we get lots of drop outs and we don't want to release it the way it is. We need to pow-wow and figure out why it's dropping out.
The PBP has it's own ANT implementation and you have to keep telling it to stay at an erg level. You can't just say "Go to 200 watts, I'll let you know when it changes". You have to keep saying "200 watts! 200 watts! 200 watts!".
If it stops receiving updates, it will wig out.
We think we can get it working as well as we can. The engineer who was the primary on it is out this week and we've got some ideas on how to fix it but we want to wait for him to get back.
If anyone reads this and wants to buy a power beam pro we recommend the Bluetooth model as the connectivity on that one is stellar.
