Customer service is good. They sent me a new carrier. However it looks the same, so we'll see if that leaks too.ozonelevel wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2017 5:45 pmYes, washed it, dried and applied O-ring gel. Still leaks. Have requested support for replacement O-rings, waiting on response.
It feels like the app was written and designed by people who don't kitesurf and can only imagine what data we want to see. The PIQ score seems pretty pointless, especially when we don't know how it is calculated. Hang time is dependant on your kite, not your skill. A torch is never going to get 7 seconds of hang time. A edge will glide and glide,nothing2seehere wrote: ↑Thu Jun 22, 2017 1:48 pmI emailed PIQ. The response is as follows:
"those are the 20% of your jumps which are considered the best among all and are taken for calculations of PIQSCORE."
I guess I got a little confused as for me they correspond to the top percentage when sorted by hang time. Its a bit more varied when sorted only by height. I guess this suggests that hang time is a big factor in getting a high PIQSCORE.
Not really, get the sensor wet and it dies. I've managed to revive it twice, afraid to push it more.cpotapoff wrote: ↑Sat Jun 24, 2017 12:48 amPIQ is a completely seperate company from North and not at all affiliated with Kiteboarding. North probably went to them and send "Hey, you guys already have a great sensor. With a few extra lines of code you can alter it to kiteboarding and we will help break into the industry".
As for the case not being waterproof, that shouldn't matter at all. The sensor itself is completely waterproof, the case there just to help hold it in place.

The data view is done much better on the Woo app at the moment. I hope PIQ sort theirs out soon.
