advantage:

1、         The installation is simple and convenient. You can install it by yourself as long as you check the instructions;

2、         Use Bluetooth for data transmission, without the hassle of cabling;

Disadvantages:

1、         IOS GPS data is used instead of spoke magnet data, so the data is not accurate;

2、         The tread frequency data has a delay of about 3s, which cannot be displayed all the time, so I cannot help but doubt its data;

Preface

The code meter is an electronic product installed on a bicycle to display several riding data, such as current speed, riding mileage, riding time, etc. The high-end code meter also has altitude, air pressure, slope display, etc. The above is the definition of the traditional code table, but with the popularity of mobile phones, almost everyone now has a mobile phone, and the connection between smart devices and mobile phones is getting closer and closer. So the traveler's code meter was born. It overturned the header that the traditional code meter must have, and used the mobile phone APP for display. The cost was reduced, but the performance was not reduced.

『 Hardware θ unpacking 』

▲ The traveler's code meter is packaged in a simple air bubble with only a small bag.

▲ After opening the bag, it can be found that the accessories of the traveler's code meter are also quite few, including only six items in the manual, namely, the manual of the frequency pedal, button battery, frequency pedal induction magnet, black ribbon, spoke speed sensor, and sensor. Different from the traditional code meter, it uses Bluetooth 4.0 for transmission, and no longer needs to be bothered by wiring.

『 Hardware θ appearance 』

▲ The front of the sensor of the traveler's code meter is a "line" LOGO with the English logo of the sensor. The right corner bulge is the magnetic sensor of the spoke. However, the IOS version of the traveler's app uses GPS computing speed, so this function is useless under the IOS app.

▲ The back of the code meter is a battery compartment, and the pedestrian code meter uses a button battery for power supply. The two holes at the bottom are designed to facilitate the passage of the strap. After the strap passes through the holes, it is fixed with the bicycle.

▲ This object is the magnet of the spoke. Its work was originally to calculate the speed and other data through the time interval between two consecutive passes of the induction magnet through the inductor. The hole in the middle is fixed in the spoke.

▲ The pedal frequency induction magnet calculates the pedal frequency and other data through the time interval between two pedal passes through the sensor, and then sticks it on the inside of the pedal.

▲ Button battery provides power support for the sensor. According to the official data, the battery life is 500 hours.

▲ A tie used to secure the sensor.

"Experience θ installation"

▲ When installing the battery, open the battery compartment cover with a coin, put the button battery into the battery compartment on the front and back, and then screw the battery compartment cover back on.

▲ The installation of the driver's code meter is also quite convenient. First, attach the pedal magnet to the inside of the pedal, and fix the sensor on the rear fork. The pedal sensor must pass through the middle of the "line", so that the sensor can sense the pedal frequency. After the position is found, fix the strap. If you are not sure, you can open the Traveler APP to test, turn the pedal to see if the pedal frequency is displayed. After that, the spoke magnet can be installed. Use a screwdriver to loosen the spoke magnet, then pass the half of the hole through the spoke close to the sensor, turn the magnetic iron face toward the sensor, and finally adjust the distance between the sensor rocker and the spoke magnet. In this way, the driver code meter is installed and can be tested next.

"Experience θ experience"

When the Traveler APP is turned on, it will automatically search for devices such as the frequency pedal. At this time, please turn the pedal to let the pedal magnet pass through the sensor, so that the sensor's Bluetooth is turned on and Traveler APP can connect with it. Please connect with the frequency pedal as soon as possible when you open the Traveler APP. I once failed to connect with the frequency pedal for a long time, resulting in no frequency pedal data. When the traveler APP is connected to the frequency pedal, it can be used normally. It should be noted that the IOS Traveler APP uses GPS to measure the speed, so the magnet of the spokes is useless, that is to say, it is impossible to measure the speed of riding indoors. The Android Traveler APP uses the magnet data on the spokes. You can also view the riding speed indoors by simply turning the tires.

『 Software θ APP 』

▲ The traveler's code table is supported by the traveler's APP. Strictly speaking, the traveler's code table was developed by the traveler's group after the traveler's APP. Traveler APP is mainly divided into five modules. The main module is speed, mileage, pedal frequency, heat and other information, which is the main function of the traveler; The second is the personal information module, called "My", which mainly includes personal settings, history, ranking and other related information; The third is the activities and challenges organized by the travelers or individuals. There are still some difficulties in the activities and challenges. Not ordinary people really dare not participate; The fourth is the traveler's original guidebook function, which can publish the guidebook to the Internet, set the route in advance, and navigate directly; The fifth is the function of the club, which can be communicated and compared with fellow cyclists in the same area.

▲ The main function of Traveler APP is divided into two display modes. One is pure data mode, where only numerical values are displayed on the interface. The second mode is map mode, where you can view the real-time position and select according to your preference. It can also share the location, download offline maps and other basic settings. Before the exercise, the youth determines that the exercise state is in the cycling state, so as to accurately record the cycling data. The exercise state includes three modes: cycling, running, and walking. Climb data can be modified to display slope, altitude, climb and other relevant data, and can be selected according to needs.

▲ The traveler's personal information has many functions, among which the APP settings can be modified, such as viewing official Taobao stores, checking nearby car stores, synchronizing to QQ Health and other related settings. In the history record, you can view the historical riding data, which can be synchronized to the server for saving. When you change your mobile phone, the data will not be lost. When you use the pedestrian frequency pedal for riding, there will be a small blue marker on the right side of the record to distinguish whether you use the frequency pedal or not. Devices such as frequency pedal and heart rate meter can be added/bound here, and selected by the name of the device. After scanning, they can be connected using Bluetooth, and then the APP can interact with the device. The ranking list can view the monthly and annual information of myself in the country. The Traveler Gang is mainly a system announcement issued by an official or an individual. It seems that it only has this function. Sports prizes can be purchased at the official online store of travelers through points exchanged for sports. Points can be exchanged for a certain amount of discount, but the discount is not very large. Please use points even more. The last private message function has been empty since it was used. Nowadays, general communication uses a Q or a letter, so there should be almost no use of internal private messages in APP.

▲ The discovery column can check and participate in the activities or challenges published by the official/individual. The activity will publish the route, kilometers, start time and other information of riding, so as to facilitate unfamiliar riders to communicate when a common route occurs. The challenge is more difficult than the activity.

▲ The guidebook is a unique function of Traveler APP. The guidebook can be created by itself or downloaded from the Internet and imported. The guidebook includes the navigation of the whole route, which can be used to navigate directly.

▲ The club function of the traveler gathers cycling enthusiasts together, and the official often organizes activities in the form of clubs to compete in the unit of clubs, so joining a strong club is your solid backing. The club also has its own ranking list. When the club you are in is ahead of the club, you will be proud of it.

Summary

Traveler APP can be said to be a better cycling APP now, and its measured data is more accurate. The supporting code table developed by the company is modified on the basis of the traditional code table, discarding the header display and using mobile phones for display, which can not only reduce the weight of the whole vehicle, but also facilitate data statistics. And the price is only 77 yuan, which can be popularized to public riders. However, the pedal frequency induction has a delay of about 3s. I hope it can be corrected later. Otherwise, when you stop, the pedal frequency is still running numbers, which makes you doubt its data.
