Measuring acceleration

Archiver

Hello,

Does anyone know of a good website that documents how
to interface a model rocket with a Stamp to acquire
acceleration and other related data? I know this has
been done, but a cursory look on the internet has
yielded very little information.

Thanks all!

Todd

Hi Todd,
Check Analog Devices web page and search for acellorometer ICs. I remember
XL-05, but I think it is out of production and there are other ICs available
now.
goodluck

Hi Tood -

You might try your question on the message group here:

sacrocketry@e...

or some other rocketry list servers. eGroups can be scanned by subject once
you become a member. Since you are sending messages here that's not a
problem : )

Once you know what you want to do, we can be better prepared to assist with
the recommended device(s). Others will respond (I suspect) with a direct
answer to your question, but becoming involved with one of those groups
will yield far more information about current devices, than those which are
generally discussed here.

Hi Todd,
Some neat rocketry projects here, including an accelerometer:
