I can't get any version of the Rotor software working despite having followed the instructions very carefully (including the mono framework). The installations seem to be successful but when I click on the Rotor icon in applications it doesn't open/load. I contacted Rotor - they tried to help but really didn't add any value other than suggesting earlier versions. I even had a professional computer "geek" (sorry, computer expert) try and sort things out and he also hit a dead-end. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the 810, and while it usually works fine, I do sometimes have to search for the power meter when starting up. Also, if the connection is dormant for a while, the Garmin seems to temporarily lose the ability to connect to the INpower. I have probably changed battery several times without needing to, simply because, despite sometimes restarting the Garmin several times, it still fails to connect. I have found that, when this happens, I need to turn the Garmin off for several minutes and then restart and search for the power meter again. Annoying, yes I know. I'm not sure what the problem is. Rotor don't seem to have an answer. I get around it by turning off the Garmin whenever I stop for a break, and making sure I don't freewheel the entire way down long descents.

If it doesn't come back after a search I'll restart the 810.<br />There does seem to be some problem between these 2 units, but I can get it to work properly at least, so I'm obviously having better luck than you.

It randomly drops the power reading and returns zeros, despite pedalling consistently throughout. I've had it returned and tested by the distributor and they get it to work with a Garmin 510. I've done the basic things like changing batteries and torquing the crank.

I've found that this happens if the power meter is detected before the speed/cadence sensor. If I get the head unit to detect the speed/cadence sensor first, then the problem doesn't occur.<br /><br />TimTimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332807793763200892.post-43796974934224905042015-12-31T00:20:44.471-08:002015-12-31T00:20:44.471-08:00Thanks so much for the reply..

I switch power meters when I switch bikes, and my Garmin sometimes takes a few attempts to recognise the INpower, but it always does eventually. If I don't switch bikes there's no issue.Cafe Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735166828394059785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332807793763200892.post-12161080107598845922015-11-13T01:41:52.529-08:002015-11-13T01:41:52.529-08:00Hey there,
