DIY G-meter

Here is a good little project. You can make a G-meter to measure how many G’s your car is pulling. A neater use is if you are a private pilot, you could measure how many G’s you are pulling while flying.

Parts List:

1 Buffered 3D Accelerometer $35
Available at DimensionEngineering

1 CB220 Start Kit $99
1 CVFD-216 $54
Available at Comfile Technology

Today I received my accelerometer from Dimension Engineering, I was so excited and couldn’t wait to start making something w/ it. So I figured I could follow the app note on their web site for making a G-meter.

I figured that I could just do it with the CB220 module and a Plug-N-Play LCD from Comfile in matter of minutes.
