Any one interested in data measurement devices for measuring everything from suspension travel to velocity? I'm toying with redesigning an old device I made.... a model rocket air data computer. Thinking of updating it with bluetooth for wireless connectivity. In theory you could connect like 6 of these to various areas of the car, control arms, etc... and get acceleration data feeds back to a central control unit. With acceleration you can integrate it to produce velocity among other things. So you could measure suspension travel and velocity of the individual members.

Just curious if there is a "need" or desire for such a product. No idea on the cost... but I'm guessing about $65-90 per unit. And maybe $100 - $200 for the control unit depending on if it has a Display or not. Accuracy would be about +/- 4% on the devices.... depending on how they are mounted of course and could get up to +/- 20 G's of measurement... down to +/- 0.25 G's aswell.
