I'm in the process of designing a datalogging system for a club race car.
The car is fitted with Haltech F7 Fuel injection. I have an 11 channel A-D
converter which plugs into the parallel port of a laptop which will be in
the car.
The converter can sample at up to 18kHz @ 10 bit resolution (386 laptop).
I'm going to interface some transducers to it. I'm currently thinking of:
Throttle position (rotary potentiometer)
Steering angle ( " " )
RPM (from tacho output)
2 x wheel speed (proximity sensors)
3 axis acceleration
I would ideally like to incorporate suspension movement as well, but may be
limited by budget as I am a university student.
Would anyone know of a 'budget' accelerometer. It could be single or multi axis.
It must be able to measure static acceleration.
Any other comments would also be appreciated.
Thanks,
