IQ2 Power Meter

You underestimate naive people

It’s 50€ off!!!

This comment really resonates, any negative comment about this PM initially was attacked, even Keith W copped it when he did the video. Well… look where we are now. :confused:

Randomly… I have a little document I keep up to date with long term orders / delivery dates in it. So I don’t lose track of things I’ve bought.

Today I’ve made the decision to remove IQ2 from it. :cry:

:crazy_face:

End of an era! lol

Don’t you mean ā€œEnd of an Error?ā€

:star:

You win the day :stuck_out_tongue:

:laughing:

There’s still hope folks :lying_face:.

Please :pray: don’t let this end :joy: :popcorn:.

If this is a paper document, the ink on that IQ2 entry must have started evaporating, making it less and less legible.

If it’s a digital document, the bits in that entry must have been getting worn out. Ones slowly turning into zeros.

In any case, this must have stretched your definition of ā€œlong term orders / delivery datesā€ beyond your initial intentions.

In the court case Cartman v Broflosky, they ruled that imagination is real. All you have to do is believe.

Shut up and take my money. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

This company is amazing. One success after another

That’s is the mail text I received 16/02 via indiego:

Update 74
I am sorry for the long delay in producing a update.

We started our journey on a ā€œquestā€ to produce a affordable power meter, with the emphasize on affordable, not just another power meter. We found out that the production-method of the sensor should be different, to reduce the calibration steps massively. Production cost-reduction and scalability would be the most important results doing so.

We found THE solution in ā€œthin film deposition technologyā€ to build up the sensor in the most stable way. The disadvantage of this process is the time it takes to build up these layers, nearly atom for atom. And although the layers are unimaginable thin it takes around 24 hours to build them up. This translates in a high price per surface used in the machine.

In the beginning with our first approach using a smaller unit between crankarm and pedal, the metal unit created a reasonable small footprint in the machine with a tolerable price-tag.
Since we had to switch to a pedal, the sensor had to be directly on the axle, many times bigger than its predecessor with a much bigger price-tag.

The design of the pedal axle was made with much care, getting rid of the negative influences that caused the failure of first power meter, but also limiting the awaited price-rise based on the size of the axle. We worked closely together with the company making the sensors (SMD sensors) in the design process, in an attempt to keep the outcome affordable! Their solution was to create the sensor on a small metal pad, and laser-weld that on the axle. After many trails it became apparent that the welding created a instability worse than the first power meter approach…

We had to go on, creating the sensor directly on the axle, with a very stable power meter as result, but with a price-tag that was far too big! The current company couldn’t/wouldn’t leave their level of pricing, creating a huge problem, for there aren’t many company’s doing what they do…

We are currently searching for a substitute in China, Germany and Holland, and are running parallel trails/tests, but they take time.

Kind regards,
Team iQsquare

CANCEL THE FUCKING PROJECT!

Jesus. How long can this people keep beating the dead horse…

lol, the grift never ends.

Truly the Sigma grindset at work

Pedal Powered Ponzi :wink:

As long as there are people dumb enough to still place orders.

A power meter that gets delivered is always both more accurate and reliable than one that does not.
