Post Winter Months
Too cold and damp for me to do much work on the 4x4.
So had a dabble with some Arduino micro computers.

I like that, does it measure roll accurately when cornering or do the G forces and stuff affect its accuracy?, ie, if i put it in my car and hooned round a car park would it give me the angle the car rolled?

@Russell
Only shows displays, Angle of Roll and Pitch as you can see the displays are quite slow.

The £3 Accelerometer/Gyro give X, Y and Z data that can be used to calculate/show G forces.

An easier way is to get an App for your Smart phone .
