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.
