Simple computer with cadence and large numbers?
"DirtRoadie" wrote Actually, I misspoke. An Avocet could work if it can be calibrated as I described. However, the primary difficulty lies in the fact that the Avocets I am familiar with use a sensor mechanism that includes a ring that must be mounted around the axis of rotation. This is in contrast to most other cyclometers, where the sensor is nothing more than a combination of a magnet and a switch, and the magnet triggers the switch once per revolution. This latter setup provides far more flexibility in mounting. I do not claim familiarity with all Avocet units, especially the more recent ones, so perhaps somebody else can offer comments regarding the potential adaptability of those. If you could describe more specifically how you hope to use the computer, that might help keep the feedback a bit more focused. Are you intending to actually measure cadence on a bicycle or merely measure RPM in some broader sense? Hi DR: Our application is really simple. A person will pedal a cycle ergometer in our lab and will be instructed to maintain a specified pedaling rate. We will be measuring forces and position of the pedal but those do not give real time display or feedback. The cadence computer will simply be there to give the person feedback so that they can maintain the specified pedaling rate. Right now we have an SRM on the ergometer but we want to free that up for other uses so we want a simple cadence computer on the force pedal ergometer.

Echowell F-2. It displays cadence, speed (Km/MPH) and distance or average
speed or elapsed time at the same time. Big enough for an old guy like me to see. One button operation for the techno-challenged like me. Reasonably waterproof to boot. Gene Tampa, FL |
