ERG not working (Tacx Bushido)

Bugs and Issues
1

So systen is Samsung Galaxy Tab A running Android V.11, TD version 8.3.8.

Trainer is a Tacx Bushido, not the best as it under reports power by something like +20%? Calibrated as best the Tacx/Garmin app will allow me.

Outputs power and cadence which is shown during the workout.

My workout is a combination of slope 0 (easy periods) and ERG (hard intervals), but the ERG seems not to switch in? Also power outputs are now way higher than I know are true for me.

I have recently re-installed as my UI was clearly an old version.

Thanks.

Hi, nice to see you back.

Very important is make sure controllable is selected on the devices tab.

I would uninstall completely if you did not on android even first erasing cache before uninstalling might add value, I think we have 8.3.9 as of yesterday. We did some major technology updates over the late summer, and this re-install can help. Regarding high power that should be more related to spin down or something, but if you can include screenshots or anything it can help better understand.

Thanks for the quick reply…

Cache cleared and new version installed 8.3.9…tick.

‘make sure controllable is selected on the devices tab’, I’m sure this was green on the last ride.

Results are in…another workout of mostly ‘slope’ work with 1 minute intervales in ‘ERG’.

At the start the ERG was highlighted even though the first part of the workout was set as ‘warm up, slope , 0’.

Into a 1 min. interval and ERG was working dropping into 1 minute easy in ‘slope’, this was too.

This carried on for the rest of the workout alternating between ERG and slope as I set the workout, so just the beginning part didn’t match.

Are ‘warm up’ and ‘slope’ being seen as the same?

Also, my beeps have beeped off? Set as high volume in settings.

So, mostly all good.

Thanks.

Second workout…

All based on ‘Slope’…stated in ERG even though ‘slope’ was high lighted in the UI…but did sort itself out after about 30 seconds?

All good for the rest of the hour…and my beeps cam back.

Thanks.

Strange stuff, sounds like progress. Beeps can be related to permissions. If you have android 15+ then make sure physical activities is enabled in android settings/apps/trainerday/permissions
