FIXED: Lean and slope were wrong, and are now rebuilt from scratch - Lean could read 8 to 15 degrees on a dead-straight road and stay there for most of a ride. Parked upright it looked fine; the error only appeared once you were moving - Slope had the same fault in the other axis: it could report a climb of over a degree while the road was visibly dropping, and three other sensors agreed it was dropping - Both are now worked out from the puck's gyro, the bike's own wheel speed and the barometer, instead of from the motion chip's internal angle calculation — which was found to invent tilt that its own accelerometer contradicted at the same instant - Measured across six recorded rides: lean on straight roads went from as much as 9.8 degrees off to within a degree, and on the worst ride the time spent reading more than 10 degrees of lean while travelling straight fell from 47 per cent of it to none - Slope now agrees with GPS altitude where it used to disagree, and no longer reports grades no road has What lean can and cannot show - Lean is worked out from the turn you are making, so it shows how far the bike is over through a corner - It does not show you shifting your weight, or the camber of a straight road, and it never will: a bike held in a steady corner feels gravity straight through itself, which is what stops it falling over. Nothing that senses gravity can read lean mid-corner — not this puck, not a dearer one - Parked upright it still reads level, so it remains a check that a mount zero worked Rides you already recorded - Rides already in your library keep the numbers they were recorded with. Only rides recorded from this version on carry the corrected ones - Nothing was thrown away: the angle the motion chip reported is still recorded beside the corrected one, in the ride file and in CSV exports Tripper Puck - Settings now shows which protocol version the puck is speaking, and says plainly when the app is older than the puck and some of what it sends is going unrecorded — previously a newer puck was read perfectly and its extra data silently dropped, with nothing on screen to say so - The puck's raw accelerometer and its count of discarded sensor reads are now recorded into your rides and written to the .trip and CSV exports, alongside the gyro and calibration Knowing which build you are running - Settings now shows the app version, the date the build was made, and a note you can write yourself — useful for recording which puck firmware a build was paired with
