Shock Potentiometer for Data Logging

pinshape

Human: Racing data loggers get a major boost from shock potentiometers, allowing for precise tuning and significantly improved lap times. A complete race-ready kit can easily set you back over $200 per corner, but this ingenious DIY solution achieves the same level of precision logging with just a few dollars worth of potentiometers and filament. This sleek Shock potentiometer mount is specifically designed to work in tandem with a slide POT, which can be found at https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9119. Featuring an impressive total travel distance of 2.3 inches and an expansive measurement range of 8.75 inches, each eye on this mount is generously oversized to accommodate a metal sleeve that effectively reduces wear and tear. The slider comes in two convenient configurations: a single piece for larger printers and a two-piece setup ideal for smaller machines under 6.2 inches in size. Future updates promise an even wider range of options, including various lengths and travel distances.
