DIY Personal G-Force Meter

By Alex in Gadgets, Hacks & Mods on Apr 25, 2008 at 8:08 pm

Chris of PyroElectro Microcontrollers has a DIY guide post on how to make your own Personal G-Force Meter:

The main application of the accelerometer is either for sensing tilt or sensing acceleration. For this application A G-Force meter for my car will be made to see how many "G’s" I pull while driving.

I drive like a grampa, so I’m sure my Personal G-Force meter will flatline near zero: Link – thanks Chris!

Some people are just so damn smart! Makes me feel inferior. *sigh*

Would be fun to take on a rollercoaster or bungee jumping or similar, just to see how high you can actually get it to go!

You can use it to save gas — the lower the acceleration, the less gas you use.

Do you really need a device to tell you to drive slower?
