Newbie level 3
Hello.
I've been lurking & reading here for a while. I seems this is a great forum where even newbie’s can get some help, so I decided to ask for input.
I am frustrated trying to make a simple sensor which will activate a switch when a change in inertia, along a single axis occurs.
The circuit has to live on a moving (water proof) platform & activate a switch, which just turns on a LED when acceleration occurs.
It has to work at speeds between 1-200 MPH. I have tinkered with MEMs an IMU (which was way over my head) & some analog devises, but I can't make it work.
It's a school project & I'm running out of time. I need parts & circuit building advise if anyone has any to offer, please.
The operative phrase here is "Simple". I need a small, cheap, stand alone solution which can function without a laptop.
Thanks in advance.
