Peripedal won't find my speed/cadence sensor

[dannyst]

I am just getting peripedal running on my new computer, and it all appeared to be going smoothly until I tried to get the speed/cadence sensor to pair. Peripedal picked up my HR monitor super quickly, but I can't get it to pick up my speed/cadence sensor. I have my garmin with me as well, and it is picking up the speed/cadence sensor, so that verifies that the sensor itself is transmitting normally. In the past I had issues with proximity, but I did searches with my usb dongle about six inches away from the sensor and that didn't change anything. How can I further troubleshoot this?

I am running a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 8. I am on Peripedal version 2.4.2.

Are you sure that you are using the appropriate type of sensor? As in not a speed sensor or cadence sensor, but an ANT+ Speen & Cadence Sensor?

I have used this same set of equipment on my previously owned laptop without any problem. I installed the garmin drivers and the heart rate picks up without a hitch. The actual garmin detects my speed/cadence sensor just fine, and the same exact hardware has worked flawlessly for me in the past. I am not sure what I am missing this go around.

Yeah it was an option in the dropdown. I hadn't noticed one option that was ant speed & cadence sensor. I had chosen just speed sensor and then a second choice for just cadence sensor. It must have been the slow brain early this morning that caused me to miss that.

Great, glad it was an easy fix! Enjoy!
