fitness test

https://stefaandesmet2003.github.io/hometrainer/fitnesstest.html

The fitness test starts with a gentle 5 minutes, before activating the trainer's ERG mode.
The target power level starts at 100 watts, and increases by 20 watts every 2 minutes.

No matter what gear your bike is in, the ERG mode will make you suffer.
The test works in any but the lowest gears, in ERG mode the trainer adjusts the resistance automatically.
It helps to use a rather high gear, to make the trainer's flywheel spin fast and provide some extra inertia.

pedalling analysis

https://stefaandesmet2003.github.io/hometrainer/pedallingAnalysis.html

This page shows how smoothly you are pedalling.
It is basically the same as the Elite 'myEtraining' paying feature, but then for free.
Direto has only 12 measuring points per pedal revolution, Drivo is supposed to have 24.
Hit Connect, wait until the page says 'Connected', and start pedalling. If you prefer some harder work, there are 10 resistance levels to chose from.

With or without cadence sensor?
Pedalling analysis works without an additional cadence sensor.

But Direto has a 2.5mm jack above the power connection for hooking up a cadence sensor. Any reed contact + magnet combination will work, for instance some spares from an old wired bike computer. The 2.5mm jack can be easily sourced on ebay.

The cadence sensor provides an accurate reference for every pedal revolution. With that reference the pedal analysis will show accurate angles, and correctly distinguish between left and right foot.

Ah, and before I forget, you need chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features

Enjoy!
