The system is not that good but I prefer to spend my time working on IpBike than trying to set up an alternative. It is at least good at keeping the spam away.

It is advisable to 'copy' before you try and post as the captcha stuff is a bit to agresive and the back buttone is not working for everyone.  You can at least then paste and have another go.

Apps » IpBike » Cadence: real-time numbers wrong

First, IP Bike is great! Thank you very much.

I am using a Garmin ANT+ speed / cadence sensor with a Suunto USB stick, and find that when viewing the real-time cadence on the screen the numbers bounce all over the place--basically making it a useless measurement.

For example it will display 62, 148, 66, 141 etc--a different value every second or so

This happens even if I'm carefully maintaining a constant cadence.

I see where I can set averaging for cadence--which is great. But a) I would like the real-time cadence to be usable, and b) if the average is the average of all the "bouncing" numbers, chances are it is not accurate.

Could you please comment on this?

This sounds like some form of hardware issue have you tried tweaking the positioning of the sensor and the magnet? The real time value just uses the last crank revolution time directly. The average is based off revolution counts and time. The max has a small amount of filtering so you need more than just a single value.

The way to check what is happening is for you to enable debug logging in IpSensorMan. I have added a reporting issues page to the help pages. There are details there on how to enabel the logging and where the files will be writen. If after tweaking the magnet positioning it's still the same get me a log file to look at.
