Indicate whether Carv 1 or Carv 2 was used

Feature RequestsHardware & Sensors

I would like to suggest to add a selector/note to indicate the type of sensors used (Carv1 or Carv2).

I do realize that there are not many people who use both, but last year I had an opportunity to compare the two side by side and I could notice that the data collected is treated a bit differently.

Same skier, same day (conditions), same run would show different SkiIQ and some metrics values depending on the sensor used.

Of course, that’s normal as it seems that Carv2 is more precise/sensitive with respect to directional data, but Carv1 has direct pressure data (so that’s more precise for pressure-based metrics). So, knowing what sensor was used helps in analyzing and comparing the data/metrics scores.

Can we have an automatic indicator for sensor type (using the info in the app) or at least a manual note/selector to be entered after the ski session?

It would become even more important if in a few years there is Carv3.

Also, it would allow to mark the runs if there is some problem with the sensor. (Like last season I had a sync problem with Carv2, so that most of the days I skied with Carv2 have meaningless data showing parallel score 0.)

    Thanks Irina! We will have the ability to add notes soon which may help in the meantime :)

      Hi Laura,

      Yes, the ability to add notes would definitely be very helpful. Not only for that, but for the snow quality detection as well. As of now it’s clear that the app does not recognize the bumped up/uneven snow (and not even proper moguls). There should be at least the possibility to add a note as to the snow/runs condition on a particular day. In fact, why don’t you bring back/keep for now the snow selector you had the last year?

      Also, could you please make sure that this discussion shows up for everybody? It’s still shown as “pending/awaiting approval from admins”. Thank you!

        Hi Irina, yes for sure. You can add notes now if you pause the session. I think the post is on the public board and visible to everyone - do you still see it as pending?

          Hi Laura,

          Yes, it’s still showing as pending and visible only to me. Please see attached screenshots.

          And the same is with my 2 posts in the section Testing mission feedback. For 3 weeks (till you answered) it was showing exactly as in the pics above, now it’s a bit different (it’s not “pending” any more, but still not visible). I post screenshots here so that not to multiply correspondence on the same topic.

            Me again. Your screenshot got me thinking that it may be the site/login/browser problem - something is not getting updated.

            I logged out, closed all Featurebase tabs, opened anew/logged in, repeated refresh and… youpii! now it all looks normal.

            Thanks a lot!

            So, all posts in these 2 sections do need your approval to appear? ;-)

              Ah that’s good to hear! Yes, but I would prefer that not to be the case so I will see if I can change it :)
