BikeErg PM5 output power via ANT+ (for use w/Sufferfest)

Post by TM900 » January 24th, 2018, 4:10 pm

Does the PM5 have the ability to output power (watts) via any of the ANT+ options in firmware version 319? I am trying to use my BikeErg with Sufferfest and I can get the Speed/Cadence data to output fine, but no luck outputting power. I have tried all 3 versions of ANT+ and have had no success. Not sure if it's possible with the current firmware or (hopefully) a future option?

i am using my bikeerg with v. 319 almost every day with zwift.
zwift picks up cadence and power (watts) from the pm5.
had to put an ANT receiver in a USB slot of my windows PC - had an old garmin that works fine.

values zwift reports are consistent with the values the pm5 reports.

works well!

I had issues with Sufferfest on IOS but changed the connection on the PM5 to ANT+ FE-C. Cadence and Power both show now.
