Power meter link + Garmin Edge

Postby jim802 » Fri Jun 19, 2020 11:27 am

Hello

I have my Arion Digital Smart B+ set up with my Stages Power Meter and PML is turned on. I have activated it using the E-training app on my iPhone with bluetooth connection.

The Stages power meter also works with ANT+. Does anyone know if the PML will be using an ANT+ or a bluetooth connection in use?

I prefer to use ANT+ connection as that is what my Garmin uses.

Also, if PML is enabled, is there any requirement to calibrate the Arion at all?

Hi

PML is not available for Arion Digital Smart B+.
Did you have a change of electronic board recently?

Oh, is it not? I thought it was. I must have made a mistake.

Is it possible with a firmware upgrade, or electronic board upgrade?

Thank you

I've just checked the manual and it has instructions for PML setup? So it does have it?

Can you send a photo of the passage of the manual?
And one of the cover?
So I can do a check here, as the official user manual doesn't have any reference to the PML

This is the link to the manual that your customer support sent me

Hi

I confirm you that Arion Digital Smart B+ doesn't support the PML function.
In my e-training, the option is present but if you select it, the app will check if the trainer supports it (and in your case it should reply that it is not supported).

I've just done a test and it works in this way,

About the user manual, there is clearly an error. I'll ask the person in charge to correct it

Regards

Oh. :(

I already had an Arion Digital that I bought a few weeks ago used, and have already replaced it with a Digital Smart B+ to access the PML feature.

Are there any plans to make this feature available in the future through the firmware?

Thanks

Arion Digital Smart B+ is no more produced. It has been replaced with the Nero.
So, I'm sorry but we won't add this feature to Arion Digital in the future

That's really disappointing. Like I say, I bought an Arion Digital, asked for a manual for it as couldn't download one, realised it didn't have PML but the manual for the Smart B+ that you sent had details of how to set PML up in it, so bought a Smart B+ because of that. :(
