Ability To Pop-Out Entertainment

This version of PeriPedal allows you to pop-out your selected entertainment option (Local media or web content) to a new window.   This allows users with multiple monitors to utilize them with PeriPedal.  Auto playing and pausing of media is still supported as normal.  My new favorite way to use PeriPedal is with the Netflix entertainment option popped out full screen on one monitor and PeriPedal full screen on the other, auto-playing and pausing as necessary.

Workout Preview Enhancements

This version has two enhancements to make choosing your desired workout easier.  Each workout preview (and workout) now have a line indicating where the FTP is for that workout.  This makes it easier to determine how difficult a workout is by sight.  It also has a larger preview image that can be viewed by hovering your cursor over the desired workout.

PeriPedal v2.0.0

PeriPedal v2.0.0 is now available.  The biggest change in this version is the removal of the previous 8 ANT+ channel limit.  PeriPedal is now using the ANT+ continuous scanning mode that allows a user to receive information from as many devices as they want.  It comes with the added benefit of finding your ANT+ devices significantly faster at the beginning of a workout.

With the removal of the 8 channel limit PeriPedal is changing its licensing from the single license for everything version it previously used to per user licensing.  There are now 4 different types of PeriPedal licences: 1 User, 2 User, 4 User, and 8 User.  The number of users refers to how many simultaneous users PeriPedal can support.  All existing v1.x users have had their licenses upgraded to continue supporting 4 users in version 2.x.

Here is a full list of changes:

  • Removed ANT+ sensor limit. Previously you were limited to 8 ANT+ devices.
  • Increased maximum number of users from 4 to 8. (Only PeriPedal 8-User licenses)
  • Changed pricing structure based on number of users. Existing users will maintain 4 users.
  • Bug Fixes

Many new exciting  features are planned for upcoming 2.x versions!

PeriPedal v1.7.0

We are very excited to release PeriPedal v1.7.0 today. This is a big update and delivers several new features:

PeriPedal during a workout displaying the new fields Muscle Oxygen and Total Hemoglobin from the ANT+ Muscle Oxygen Profile.

ANT+ Muscle Oxygen Sensor Profile Support

This version of PeriPedal adds support for the ANT+ Muscle Oxygen Sensor (alpha) profile.  This will allow users of the Moxy Muscle Oxygen Monitor to display their saturated muscle oxygen percentage and total hemoglobin count during their workouts.

Improved KICKR Support

PeriPedal support for the Wahoo KICKR has been significantly improved in this release.  This release allows you to switch your KICKR mode at any time to and of the standard levels (0 – 9) or Erg Mode.  You can change the mode by using the Quick Settings screen during a workout and selecting the desired mode.  You can also use hot keys 0 – 9, or E to switch between modes.  FTP Tests will default to Level 3, while all other workouts will default to ERG mode.

The KICKR calibration has also been improved in this release.  The previous release had a bug so the user wasn’t always shown the Calibration results.  The previous release also hid the “Speed” value from the user during the calibration because the Quick Settings panel was open.  The panel is now automatically closed once a calibration begins.

Added New Entertainment Content

PeriPedal now allows you to choose from Amazon Instant Video, Hulu, Netflix, Vdio, or YouTube as choices for entertainment during your ride.  The web content of your choice is loaded in your PeriPedal window so you can easily adjust the ratio of the screen you want devoted to your entertainment and your data.   The Local Media option is still available for those who prefer local content.  If you choose Netflix of Local Media your entertainment will be automatically played and paused with your workout.

Hot Key Support

PeriPedal now supports hot keys!

Space Bar   Play/Pause Workout (and media if applicable)

PeriPedal v1.6.0

ExampleKickrProfile

A new release of PeriPedal is available.  This version has 2 new features.

The first is two new training plans created by Infinity Triathlon.  One is a 6 week FTP booster plan and one is a 12 week Ironman training plan.

The second feature is KICKR support!  PeriPedal can now control the Wahoo KICKR trainer.  This control is done over ANT+ and allows you to perform a workout with the KICKR in ERG mode and perform spindown calibration.

To get your KICKR working with PeriPedal first update your KICKR to the latest firmware.  Then create a bike profile where you choose “Wahoo KICKR (ANT+)” as the source for speed and/or power.  Having it selected for either one will enable ERG control.  This allows you to use your existing power meter for your power data if you want, but still get the KICKR ERG control.
