[REQ] Adding mid levels of difficulty to Peleton settings

[gilliancorbo]

This app has been incredibly helpful in getting my fitness up; thank you so much Roberto Viola! It’s been so helpful that I feel like I’m finally able to progress from the lower level of difficulty in Peleton classes, however the average may be too much of a jump. Is there any way to select something that is halfway beetween lower and average difficulty using auto resistance or do I just need to make that adjustment manually and disable auto resistance until I’m fit enough to tackle the average resistance?

Maybe a future update could include 5 ranges of difficulty instead of the 3? I’m using an EX-5 with QZ on my iPhone and the Peleton app on my iPad

@grantland will you find useful too? i was thinking about interpolating the current 3 levels

I've actually been working on something a little different that could solve this: grantland@b24e6e7

It's more in line with how the Peloton Bike+ functions where each cue change updates the auto-resistance to the same % between prev-lower/pre-upper to post-lower/post-upper.

For instance if lower-upper is 40-50 and you're set at 42 (20% of 10), the next cue change to 30-40 will automatically change your resistance to 32 (20% of 10).

This would also allow you to adjust yourself on the fly as you can use the knob or on-screen controls to change to 35 (50% of 10, same lower-upper of 30-40) and the next cue change to 50-70 will automatically change your resistance to 60 (50% of 20).

I still need to work out some bugs due to echelon <-> peloton conversion causing auto-resistance drifts and I'm also assuming you'd want this behind a new setting I'd need to add as well :)

@gilliancorbo will you be ok with the solution proposed by @grantland ? I'm not familiar with Bike+ behaviours ;)

yes thanks :)

[gilliancorbo]

@cagnulein the proposed solution sounds good. I'm not 100% sure how it's different from the gears setting but that's probably my lack of understanding about how the Bike+ works.

[cagnulein]

@gilliancorbo Mmm you could be right... @grantland did you try the gears tile too?

[grantland]

I haven't used it, but from looking at the gears code it doesn't take into account the the difference between lower-upper and it's just another offset of resistance based on lower, similar to difficulty.

My new feature takes into account lower and upper which sounds similar to me as what @gilliancorbo is asking for as average is 50% between lower-upper and my feature would allow 10%, 25%, etc. between upper and lower.

[cagnulein]

@grantland ok I guess another possibility will just make QZ even better! Go on please! ;)
