Check the graph and data: this is repeatable, I don't seem to have a lot
of skill on the 'launch', especially without blowing my 33-year old trans. 0-60 in 8.4 seconds. 914-6 Timed Run Mark S. '70 914-6 |

Mark, I see that you finished making the timing device that you were talking about - well done! Can you make one with accelerometers now so that you can calculate hp and braking distances as well?

Yeah, this is the same box that I made more than
2 years ago. Never got around to making one with the accelerometers ala g-tech pro, but by the time I get to it they'll probably be in everybody's watches. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) So I'll never get to use your code. Mark S. '70 914-6 |

Just as well ... I'm sure a professional programmer would have a good laugh at my code but at least it produces very accurate results.

Having worked in the software biz for 11+ years, I think a LOT of people would be VERY suprised at what passes for "professional" code. I think there's a reason Microsoft is opposed to opening their source. . . |

The box is a microcontroller and RAM chip, some
buttons and an LCD display. It takes the pulses from the points (I have a little cable coming off my optical points-replacement module). Takes 20 samples per second for 10 seconds (stupid me I could have put in enough memory for an hour). It's kinda expensive to just make one. About $150 in parts. But then I made the software so you could view a bunch of different things right there in the car without having to download first. It will store 3 different runs before you have to offload the data. |
