QUOTE(ArtechnikA @ Oct 13 2003, 02:22 PM) here's my question - how can an accellerometer-based device produce valid data when it's not solidly mounted to the vehicle in question. even when i see the videos, it looks like it swings around on that suction-cup mount like a pendulum do. so what you've got is an accel in an accel - how stable can that be ? unless the whole design concept is to have a position reference -inside- the box, measuring the motion of the case around it... in which case i think there'd be way too many variables (e.g. suction-cup rubber stiffness...) for the data to be valid... i understand the suction-cup plumb-bob mounting is convenient - but how can it possibly be giving you valid data in transient maneuvers ? what does the mounting information suggest? must it be flixibly mounted ? can you bolt it to the frame for improved accuracy ? When I watch MotorWeek on the Speed channel and they test the cars through the slalom I can see that they have a similar device mounted to the windshield. |
