Re:Serial Accelerometer

On: Measuring Acceleration/Speed for Small Vehicles?

Thanks! This looks the most useful.

Any ideas on where to buy a similarly cheap data logger for serial? Or software for a PDA to do the same thing?

The SpeedCoach is good for measuring general speed. What it does not show is how small technique changes alter the power curve of a stroke.

I want the ability to be able to compare the power curve on the water to that on the erg. And see how specific changes in the stroke make the boat slower / faster, and compare that to the rowers' perceptions.

Thought that, and we have those available, but waterproofing is too much of an issue...

Several times a second: in order to measure changes in the force profile of the stroke.

Example: If the cox calls "send the boat off the finishes", to see what effect that has on the force curve, and boat speed.
