TriPO vs. CycleOps testing After gruelling months of designing and manufacturing the right shaped sensors, we finally came a couple of steps closer to our first proper prototype of our power meter. For all those newcomers to our site: we are producing a power meter that will be placed under your cycling shoe (in a sandwich […]
At last, the power is in our hands. We have a working TriPO prototype. The graph below shows force, torque and power measured (computed) from the data for one revolution. Starting at bottom dead position, the greatest force is around 130 N, torque 22 Nm, and average power for the whole revolution 22 W. This might
In case no one noticed, we were very busy in the last weeks. Anyway, we were not on holidays. In the mean time, Domen finished his Master thesis, and Nejc is constantly developing interesting projects. Most of time we are improving our Knof force sensor, that will be used in our Tripo cycling power meter. Of course there are other projects
There is a box of shame in our workshop that contains a number of more or less (but mostly less) successful attempts at building a decent prototype of force sensor. We never throw away anything because of one single reason. The funniest thing in the world is seeing how insanely stupid your former self was.
