If it actually shows up, could somebody help me figure out how to compare it to my favero power pedals to test it? I can put it through its paces for sprints, but I've got to figure out how to put the numbers side by side.

Hey, you will need to record the ride on 2 devices and then compare both fit files here https://compare-the-watts.com/

When I compare my PM with a trainer I record PM on my wahoo cycling computer
And my smart trainer is recorded in wahoo app.

That's great to know, I need to check my Magene TEO vs my Cycplus R200

So if I use my phone (strava) for one and my wahoo bolt for the other would it still work? I'm not sure how to get the files from either

If you can connect your PM to your phone then yes / directly from Strava and Wahoo, Garmin whatever

Just be aware: it's not uncommon for different devices to record data slightly differently. There's someone making a phone ap that allows simultaneous recording from multiple data streams, GPLama was in contact with them

They say they've shipped one my way. Haven't had it arrive yet.

@gplama I meant about the app. It seems like they've also shipped one to me to try, so I'm looking for how to compare it once it arrives

I vibe coded a small app to be able to connect 2 power meter to my karoo (one with ant+ and one with BLE) and to record the 2 PM at the same time, and also live display some stats.

Used it to compare PP5 and my favero assioma duo, 0.73% difference. Will have to confirm on multiple ride but impressive.

Nice one! I will test it in my Karoo.

Please keep us posted as I am interested in this power meter but I ruled it out reading the comments from people saying that it is total trash.
