Sounds like he's been testing unreleased firmwares and random stuff is breaking with each update.

I just couldn't nail what was up with these units. 48 data sets over 8 months or so. Wildly different results with power between firmware updates. Some tests were really good, others not, others both good and bad. I need to start fresh with whatever their latest firmware is and go from there. They've asked I return the units i've been testing.... so that's that for now. And as such, they're NOT on my 'ok to buy' list. I suspect they're redaing my comments too... and could be why they want everything returned.

I won't be making a video/review on the experience to date. Whatever I publish will likely be outdated already given the duration of the testing. I've wasted way way WAY too much time for nothing other than them getting a metric fckton of comparative test data. I hope they do something good with it.

Have you not been on the latest firmware that was released in October?

I was well down the rabbit hole with them sending over a custom firmware tweaked only for the unit I had after that dropped.

Oh you had special sauce :O Was there a certain scenario where you would find it to be inconsistent? Or would slope just drift randomly?

Hi guys, so glad I've found a useful thread about Sigeyi on the internet, so I joined here to ask this:

I installed my SIGEYI AXO yesterday and took it for a very short and easy test spin, because I got way to short chain ring bolts at this point...
Anyway, it seems to work fine, but when I later on took a look on the sensors in my Garmin Edge 530 it has connected with a mix of ANT+ and bluetooth, that I do not like, I would preffer only ANT+
So, can the second sensor (bluetooth) be deleted from here or will I loose cadence and balance then? If so how to connect that part with ANT+ instead?

The power sensor should probably give you cadence too. Try it. Just disable the other sensor in Garmin. Other than that you should see both ANT+ and BT signal in your garmin (as separate sensors), so you can pair the ones you want.

OK thanks, will remove it and see what happends, but not until I've got hold of proper chain ring bolts...

ANT+ only connection is recommended. I had some drop-outs because I unwittingly was on Bluetooth, all good on ANT+. There will be power and cadence, also L/R balance

Thanks, I've now used it on a couple of rides and no issues what so ever (that I can spot). According to the App I'm on firmware 3.802

So what's the latest on the Sigeyi Axo and Xcadey Xpower spiders? Are they fixed and working well, or is firmware borked again?

Still running with 106% adjustment, or 100% is good now?

I have read all known information and test across the net about both... Several people report bad power figures with X-Cadey, nor Sigeyi. Last information in this thread is, that X-Cadey latest FW corrected power errors experienced before. Is it OK, now? Sigeyi is right from the beginning.

I would like to use it on my second bike with Rotor cranks and chainrings. Thx.
