Reply to "Protégé 9.0 Cyclocomputer – How It Works"

Pete:
Your last table is in error because you did not take into account the 9.999 m in computer memory at 0 rev. The following shows the display of the Protege for the first three revolutions when the cicumference is set correctly to 9.999 m but incorrectly to M/HR rather than KM/HR:

Rev,, Rev Sensed, Meters Sensed, Mi Sensed,, Display
0.............1.............9.999 ..........0.00621.......0.00
1.............2............19.998...........0.01243.......0.01
2.............3............29.997...........0.01864.......0.01
3.............4............39.996...........0.02485.......0.02

I now realize from these calculations that even if you had got Bill to make my old installation check, he would still not have detected his error of setting the computer to M/HR unless he had done two revolutions. Of course, in my new version I have included a check for KM/HR in the display.
By the way the fraction of a revolution shown on the rim at the end is always correct wether the meter is operated correctly or not. In a series of four calibration rides, I usually only set and read the meter on the first.
