Seems if you get that with the clickers, you can't get the steering thing too? As only one additional connection is allowed?

Or does the clicker do steering too?

The click controller doesn't do steering (it's just for gear changing) but the Zwift Play controllers can do both steering AND virtual gear changes.

When you say only one other connection is allowed are you meaning via Apple TV? Becuase if you are, the workaround this is to pair via the companion app which doesn't have the 2 device limit that ATV has. So if you do that you might actually be able to pair both the play controllers AND the click controller and use both/either to change gears with - I'm not sure if that will work but it's possible in theory

I was doing a Zwift Workout today when half way through, the Turbo stopped controlling the resistance so I had to stop the ride.

I plugged it in and updated the Firmware. Will have to see if it works tomorrow.

Any other suggestions?

Not sure if you can turn it off. I haven't had it plugged in for quite a few months as it works unpowered.

Divide by zero error.

This makes no sense to me Martin. How can it receive a signal from Zwift to control the resistance if it has no electrical power?
How can it adjust the resistance if it has no electrical power?
Does it have some kind of battery that became fully discharged half-way through your workout today?

Hi - I was basing it on the video, and what I see on screen, where there is the single middle connection box that on the video connected the clicker. So can more than one extra thingy be connected?

Not that I'm planning to get any of these, was just musing based on the video.

Hi Alex, your event is attracting more participants :okay:

Are you still wanting a neutral rollout start?

Sorry I'm really not following what you're saying.

There's a black clicker button that attaches to the handlebars which you use to change virtual gears. Or, you can use the Zwift Play controllers to change virtual gears instead - which also do other things like steering. He says this in the video.

Beyond that I'm not sure what you're asking

It's highly likely I'm misunderstanding as I don't have any extra controls, but in the video when he connects to the clicker, the controls box highlighted, my assumption is that you can only select one 'control' .. so if you select Clicker then you can't also select the steering control.

Same as the other boxes ... one power source, one cadence, one heart rate etc ...

Or if you have multiple controls can you select them all in the 'Controls' box, or do extra Controls boxes appear?

Like I say, I don't have any controls so not sure how they show on the screen and I may be totally missing the point. It's highly likely lol

When you have the Play steering, it has left device and right device, so maybe you can have more than one connection

Conversely I really enjoyed this high intensity event. One of my favourite circuits

Having a week off from racing, I was not sure if my lungs would react well to full on efforts.

Legs felt good up the Clyde kicker, briefly holding the segment lead time. Set a new PB on the final lap.

Steven held on well and I was under pressure somewhat, but managed to recover for a long sprint into the finish. Dropping Steven and Alex-surpirise
