This is a fun project. Unfortunately, it takes some time to develop the code, so this is a work in progress and here i’ll just present the project so far.
Basically the AccelR8 is a device for measuring acceleration. It can measure +/- 2 g.
As it contains a microprocessor, it an also measure time.
…
AcceR8 will tell you :
Acceleration 0-100 km/t (0-60 mph),
Braking distance 100-0 (60-0), and
Maximum Horsepower

Maybe not something you’ll do in the coffee break but have a look at the AccelR8 project
