XLRBR Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 WOw...very technical and confusing. It looks super-coolio though! Did you build it from scratch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Great stuff Marcus! If you ever feel like building one for TPR, please let me know. We'd love to help add to your logger data! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sound Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 ^ Hey Elissa, see youv'e had a sex change! And changed your name. Looks really technical. I don't understand what it does though. Am i missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 It can logg the g-force that you feel when you for example ride a roller-coaster and then you can do some graph of the log // Marcus Löfstrand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Or you can put the g-force data in the bottom of your on-ride film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemesis-storm Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Very well done. I'm sure we all would like to see some results from the logger. You should consider selling some of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 If you download the software on the page "AccmetView" and the file named "Heide Park" you can see some examples of what the logger can do. I have a few more parks from my summer vacation in Germany, Holland, Denmark and from Liseberg. // Marcus Löfstrand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 Photos of v3.3 is uploaded. It is more compact then v2.0. The new one only have a internal sensor and a one row "glow in the dark" display. // Marcus Löfstrand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 We should build one for TPR and send it to people who have a local park (or one they usually go to). The person could take it on the coasters to log the G's and sign the thing, then pass it off to another person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lond Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 Update: Currently I'm working on my new logger. It's almost finished, some hardware and software to be fixed gforce.servehttp.com/ // Marcus Löfstrand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyyyper Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I used an accelerometer combined with a calculator and proccercor to log some coasters, too bad we had only 1 meter and we had to ride a coaster 3 times to get an accurate vert/lat/accel graph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
