How to calculate cadence using gyroscope/accelerometer with nrf52

Hi,

I'm trying to understand how to powermeter bike works. I read the ant documents and execute example bpwr ant code, but I have a question how cadence in power meters are read? Using accelerometer or gyroscope? I have a mpu6050 arduino board and I want to create a homemade power meter. Anyone can help me?

Best regards

  • Hi am doing the same as you and I had the same problems. The status of my project now is that I can calculate the cadence from the values I got from the MPU6050 and send them via ANT+ to my Garmin Forerunner 735. Now I am implementing the HX711 to measure the strain gauges, This routine also works with some issues at the moment.

    So if you are interested, send me an email and we can help us each other.

    I also developed my own PCB...
