Thanks for that. My instructions is V1.10 and has nothing in it but that says it all. Something I will look at to have some fun in the race car.

happy to help if i can regarding the g-force sensor, that was my feature suggestion.

i am not sure if he mounted them to loggers like mine is, he might have added it to the PCB design for later versions!

Thanks. First question is where did you buy the sensor in the pic? It looks easy enough to install.

search ebay for "ADXL335" ... you need to make sure its an analog output one as per above with the gnd/vcc then the 3 x analog outputs (X,Y,Z).

but i am wondering yours is already showing data does it not have it in there ? i would have thought if it didnt have the accelerometer in it VL400 would have put a firmware on it without that in it .... but i could be wrong ... i guess go to that screen and move the logger around, if the dot moves its probably already installed.

this one looks like the exact unit i have https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/265016050169

I don't think its really showing data because you move it around and it just stays in the same spot. Looks like I'll have to look inside. I am sure mine was one of the early ones but I thought he only made one batch. Boy I didn't think it would be so cheap so figure if I do order one from China best buy a few knowing their reputation for quality.

ahh right, well if you put it in as i did you should be right then. i just tried to make it parrallel to the pcb, and used one of the big earth pads already there and just added solder to it to fill the gap to my accelerometer board. then just connect the wiring as above.

i cant remember which one it was , but the Z axis as you can see goes to one of the analog input pins on the serial plug, it just means you cant use that for an external device input.

I doubt you will get your hands on one. VL400 made them a few years back and we don't see him around these days. Because of their capabilities you will be hard pressed to find a second hand one.
