Power Estimate
· v1.5-upd1
About
---DESCRIPTION---
This data-field shows the current estimated power output in watts for a standard ROAD BIKE.
The estimation is based on the formula as used in Strava
- Speed
- Grade / Slope
- Acceleration
- Weight of rider (from user profile) + 10 kg (for bike + equipment)
- Optional: Cadence (if sensor is installed)
- Default road-bike constants (rolling- & drag-resistance)
Please note that the estimation results vary depending on the quality of the data.
Using a speed-sensor greatly increases the estimation accuracy.
Future features will include
- Contiuous fetching of wind-data (when smart-phone is connected)
- Taking current gear into account
- Fine-tuning of road-bike constants per user
