whiteradam Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Maybe this is already possible and I have just not found it yet, but is there a way to use the internal accelerometer in the Thunder as a roll over switch of a sort? Not sure if it can either respond to a specific amount of extreme acceleration in known "bad" directions or excessive amounts of (de)cceleration (hitting an immovable object) or if it can act as a gyroscope as well and known if the car goes inverted that it should shutdown the engine and fuel pumps.adam Edited December 8, 2015 by whiteradam Davidv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Hi Adam,Yes this would be possible. One way to do it would be to use the Vertical acceleration in conjunction with a timer to trigger a Virtual Aux channel, that would then activate a GP Limit table to kill the engine. The timer would be useful so that the GP Limit table is not triggered accidentally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteradam Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Scott,Thanks, I will take a look at this when I get the unit powered up. adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapper Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Hi SimonInstead of a timer, the activation delay setting of the gp limit table will do also the job, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hi mapper, yes, good thinking, that would be a more simple way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
