Using the new plug-in library for cadence

cadPcc.subscribeCalculatedCadenceEvent(new ICalculatedCadenceReceiver() {
@Override
public void onNewCalculatedCadence(final long estTimestamp,
final EnumSet<EventFlag> eventFlags,
final BigDecimal calculatedCadence) {
// my processing...
}
});

got a negative value reported for calculatedCadence. Does this function account for roll-over in cadence count?

I must say the new plug-in interface is a BIG improvement over ANTRadio. Thanks for all the great work!

I noticed this hasn't been responded to yet, sorry. The plugins do handle roll-overs so I am unsure what might have caused this. I am unable to reproduce it by just running a cadence sensor and watching it. Are you able to provide more details on when you are seeing this? Are you still seeing it?

I have only seen this once; just by chance, since I only record at 1/sec and cadence arrives 4/sec.
Here is the relevant section of the .tcx file that records speed, cadence, location, etc:

<Trackpoint>
  <Time>2013-09-15T16:32:41Z</Time>
  <Position> </Position>
  <AltitudeMeters>285.0000000</AltitudeMeters>
  <DistanceMeters>18547.8877109</DistanceMeters>
  <Cadence>61</Cadence>
  <Speed>2.2500000</Speed>
 </Trackpoint>
 <Trackpoint>
  <Time>2013-09-15T16:32:42Z</Time>
  <Position> </Position>
  <AltitudeMeters>285.0000000</AltitudeMeters>
  <DistanceMeters>18549.8936339</DistanceMeters>
  <Cadence>-4055350</Cadence>
  <Speed>2.2500000</Speed>
 </Trackpoint>
 <Trackpoint>
  <Time>2013-09-15T16:32:43Z</Time>
  <Position> </Position>
  <AltitudeMeters>285.0000000</AltitudeMeters>
  <DistanceMeters>18551.9295769</DistanceMeters>
  <Cadence>60</Cadence>
  <Speed>2.2500000</Speed>
 </Trackpoint> 

and here is the code snippet that receives the calculated cadence value from the ant plugin:

public void onNewCalculatedCadence(final long estTimestamp,
  final EnumSet<EventFlag> eventFlags,
  final BigDecimal calculatedCadence) {
  myBikeStat.setPedalCadence(calculatedCadence.intValue());

  {snip}
} 

No other processing is done on cadence.
The code that assembles the cadence value into the .tcx file is

logout.writeBytes(CADENCE_START_TAG
    + Integer.toString(myBikeStat.getPedalCadence())
    + CADENCE_END_TAG); 

The javadoc says the cumulativeRevolutions (in onNewRawCadenceData) has Rollover: Every ~9 quintillion revolutions, but the ANT+ Device Profile for Bike Speed and Cadence says the rollover in hardware is 65536; unless the plug-in handles this? Have only seen this once; the cadence sensor had about 190 hours cumulative operating time.

Well, I don't feel too bad in admitting that we haven't let the bike cadence run for 8 days in our previous testing

I will find something around here to run that log with some logging turned on to see if I can reproduce.

We do use an internal accumulator that is backed by a java long. It seems you would need a lot longer than that to hit the rollover, but even if it was a rollover the negative value would remain negative and just keep incrementing from there. In this instance you reported you said you saw a single isolated negative, but was it followed by more negative values or just the one instance?

Ok, managed to reproduce it. This will most likely be fixed in the next release of the plugins. Thanks for your report.

Good morning,
In the case of the bike cadence display, is it necessary to view the battery status? I saw that page 4 is optional, but also for the display? in this case the SD_0015 Invalid Data script passes only yes?

Thank you
Greetings

Per the profile doc "The minimum requirements for an ANT+ bike speed display are to receive and decode bytes 4-7 of each data page; and display speed to the user. The minimum requirements for an ANT+ bike cadence display are to receive and decode bytes 4-7 of each data page; and display cadence to the user."

SD_0015 states "If none of the fields are supported, press "Yes"" so you should be pressing yes if the display never shows "Battery Status".
