I'm looking at using an accelerometer to measure the peak or maximum acceleration (deceleration) in a given period of time. I'm wondering if anyone has any better ideas than I currently have. As I see it I am going to have to get the Espruino to read the acceleration at a high frequency.
-Is there a better way of doing this that doesn't involve lots of cpu cycles?
-Does anyone know if there are alternative accelerometers that might store this value? (I've started looking at datasheets, but haven't uncovered one yet)
I'm happy to do some leg work and/or submit any necessary extra modules, I just haven't found an approach I feel is right yet.
