Re: Controlling the Kickr via external power meter now possible [agreif]
Had a fairly successful session tonight. TR Clark workout.

Kickr software .26
Vectors
Recording to Garmin Edge 1000


The TSS and IF recorded by the Garmin were identical to those recorded in TR, which were both on target with those prescribed by the workout.


The main difference I've made was to turn off any averaging in TR, this makes the graph look pretty messy during the workout due to power fluctuation and correction by the feedback loop but importantly the 10 second average displayed by the Garmin during each interval was right where it needed to be. As you can see/will know, at the end of the workout TR smooths things out a bit so the graph doesn't look as messy as it did in realtime. The other thing I did was to do a hot spindown at the end of yesterdays workout when the unit was nice and warm. I didn't spindown at the start of todays workout. You can see right at the beginning of the workout there was a period when the Kickr was setting the resistance too high. Not sure if this is to do with the feedback loop taking a while to establish or something to do with the unit warming up.

Happy to provide serial number if that will be of some use. My unit is around 3 months old, from the description given regarding the plug etc I'm sure this is a "newer" type of unit. It was 30 - 50W high before this software and had drift.
