Cardiostrong BX70i, Automatic resistance, ERG mode

[Dominik2910]

Hello Roberto, I use a Cardiostrong ergometer, Model BX70i (iconsole+), and I also use Assioma duo for more precision. In the QZ settings, I use Fytter RI08 Bike instead of iConsole bike because iConsole bike didn't work well.

So far, I can use the system, but it would be extremely cool if the following could be possible:

• Automatically adjusting resistance for uphill or downhill rides would be nice. Currently, my avatar only gets slower or faster accordingly. Is there anything that can be done about this?

• I can only use the Zwift Workout option with Erg mode without the QZ app. I've already selected the Zwift Erg mode option in the bike settings, but it didn't improve the situation.

I would appreciate it if you have a solution for this.

Best regards, Dominik Ostaszewski

thanks i will check it tomorrow

[cagnulein]

ok so log checked. first of all you need to setup this correctly. in order to do so, set the manual device setting in the advanced setting to your iconsole bike and press ok, also set your assioma under accesories, power sensor setting and press ok restart qz then and share me a debug log then Let me know

Hello @cagnulein hope you are fine!

thanks for your quick answer! I put in the settings like you said and after a little waiting time (this was new for me) the ergometer display turns on again. So i was ready to make the test and take the first hill and i'm think it works well! My first opinion is that this is amazing Roberto! Issue with Powermeter: I use the assioma duo is there a possibility to get both pedals linked with QZ? What solution do you think is the best? I have already uploaded the Logfile.

Meanwhile i will try the Workoutmode with the same settings.

Thank you Roberto.

i can't see the debug file. anyway for the moment is not possible to connect both power pedal. Let me know how it will go the erg mode, as far as i can remember i didn't handle erg mode for your bike

[cagnulein]

i added in a beta a power table for #1999

[Dominik2910]

Ok i will look at this one and come back to you! Thanks

I tried something. via ant+ dongle i linked the assioma duo to zwift. i get now the right watts at zwift but only the half amount on QZ.

[Dominik2910]

By the way: It is now possible to use the workout mode. It works perfect! 😝

@Dominik2910 set the watt gain to 2 to qz

[Dominik2910]

ok i will do it

@cagnulein

here the pic. just to be sure that i'm doing it correctly.

[Dominik2910]

I'm sorry @cagnulein here is the file...

[cagnulein]

nope not that one, watt gain in the advanced setting

[Dominik2910]

@cagnulein thanks for the correction 👍. So it should double up the watt? that's a good solution.

[cagnulein]

yes!

[Dominik2910]

@cagnulein

Thanks a lot for the professional support! It is amazing what's possible! Can't believe it 😳.
