Very interesting project duane, keep the updates coming. Looks like you got some free time on your hands.

How about a mind controlled Rc car next?

Hi,
I was messing around with an accelerometer yesterday it doesn't feel too far from mind control.

If you have ever wondered whats better, M-Grip, S-Grip, Sweeps, Spice or Cross and should you be using 32s or 36s, I might have the answer in a day or two.

I am using the accelerometer to measure the cars traction circle.





you can see the first part of this project here -

If you scroll down you will find more information about this and the traction control project.

Built a small board to control the data logging setup today. I am a Micro SD Card away from having 3-Axis of acceleration data logged in an M03. I hope to have some plots for different tyres by the end of day tomorrow.

The control board is basically a big red button that allows you to start recording, stop recording and also to tell the board to enter serial mode where it will send all of the recorded data to a PC through USB. There are two LEDs also, red for record and green for serial transmission mode.
