I will do a search online but didn't notice anything else on this specific site. Anyone have any information?<br>
thanks</p>

The Gyros on the board are highly prone to vibrations which causes sevre errors in the flight.<br>
Hope someone from Sparkfun responds it quickly.</p>

Kind of like a lensless microscope with a twist. All kinds of applications come to mind... Thanks guys, I really didn't need more projects added to my pile! ;)<br>
As for the 250g accelerometer, I used one a couple of years ago on a project involving a high-power rocket launched from a pneumatic cannon (the "Jujubee" project). The cannon would fire the rocket into the air at about 240 ft/s in my tests, and the high-g accelerometer would detect that spike and use it to initiate the rocket motor ignition (an "I"-impulse motor). I didn't log the data except max acceleration, but the simulations were predicting it would experience about 300 gees if I were to go to full cannon pressure. At my low pressures I think I only experienced about half that. The only way I ever saw 300 gees was by smacking the PCB sharply against a hard object. I'll have to revisit that project one day and put the 500g sensors through their paces!</p>

I don't know why I accidentally typed 26.</p>

I can't seem to find it on the page linked from the image.</p>
