Personal G-Force Meter
Posted April 24, 2008 by Chris
Being that my car already measures velocity & position, why not fill the void with an accelerometer & measure acceleration? The Personal G-Force Meter Does just that using standard 7-Segment LEDs for output. Check out the video for an overview of how it works!

where does the capaciter and other parts get wire at.
May 7th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
They are wire-wrapped on and connected into SIPs.
Checkout the Parts & Hardware sections of the write up to see pictures & how it is done.

When will their be a new project
What about making a audio vu meter
May 18th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
I’m hoping to have the next project up before the end of May.
What do you mean by an audio VU meter? Make a post in the forums for project suggestions. Thanks!
