I am trying to set up my TSDZ2 w/aftermarket firmware so that the "Human Power" readout bears some relation to reality.

Not having access to any of the bike power meters, I am fiddling around with Settings.Torque Sensor.Weight on Pedal and one of the Settings.Assist Levels.Power Assist values.

I figure that if I can:
  • Create a situation where the motor is providing 1 watt for each watt the rider is supplying.
  • Ride at a speed where the motor is supplying 100 watts and the Human Power = 100 watts.
  • Turn off power assist
  • Get a Human Power readout of 200 watts
I will have calibrated the system to where it shows some reasonable approximation of actual Human Power.

Has anybody done anything like this?

Or is this a fool's errand?
 
I don't have the direct answer for you, but in case no one else comes along with that, have you checked the big OSF thread(s) for this procedure? Some of them are listed in this search
and this archive search may show more, and there are other possible search terms/etc that could find better info.
