Hello,
I just bought a bkool pro. I can ride in zwift but it does’nt change my resistance…
There are no updates avaible in the BKOOL program.
I thougt it changes the resistance automaticly but am I wrong?
Do you have it paired as a controllable trainer?
Are you using BLE or ANT+?
BKOOL trainers only change resistance over ANT+, so if that’s how you have it paired, just make sure your trainer difficulty slider is set to the middle or further to the right (Menu > Settings > Trainer Difficulty).
First I connected it with bluetooth and the bkool simulator like it was written in the userguide.
then I tried to connect it with zwift with the ant+ dongle but the only thing it found was the power source. I tried to pair the controllable trainer but didn’t work.
I turned everything off and tried again 2 hours later and it worked… and zwift found everything…
Didn’t change a thing on trainer or pc so don’t know what the problem really was.
thanks for the help.
You need to convert the trainer to FE-C in the Bkool simulator pairing menu via ANT+ before you can use it with other ANT+ apps.
Use this guide to setup your Bkool it worked for me

There is a bug that stops the button to enable FE-C in Bkool app. Install 3.53 beta (see links below) this will a) add the button and b) update the trainer to support Bluetooth (but not yet as controllable)
