i may be able to calibrate the 400 later on as long as i can receive info from it..?
I have ordered a 150psi unit.

Still reading about your product. I think it is the type of thing I've been looking for. Forgive me if it does this already, but I am a car enthusiast, so I'm interested in engine related items. Maybe this would not apply to a large number of people, but here goes:
Fluid volume sensors, like supercharger oil level. Water injection water level even maybe coolant level in the coolant overflow bottle. That sort of thing.
I have come up with a few things I would like to trigger at a specific RPM. So a tachometer sensor would be good. My car pre-dates OBDII
Air speed indicator . . . just kidding.
Thanks for doing this.

trouble there is that we don't have enough demand to make them affordable...perhaps as we grow demand will increase.

I would like to see a G-force sensor 
On that shows all four directions..

We have one, it's the accelerometer. It shows all 6 directions.

Can I ask why you need a 3-axis accelerometer? I gotta assume not too many people are going to be dropping their cars off of cliffs...
I agree that a display of lateral and longitudinal acceleration at the same time (traction circle) would be the most productive thing to do with G's.

Well first, if you wanted tofling it off a cliff, you can. Always a possiblilty right?
Secondly, a 2axis is the same price as a 3axis.
And the big one, with a 3 axis, you can mount it anywhere. With a 2axis, the sensor itself must be pretty perfectly balanced on 1 axis in order to get a good reading for the correct other "axis in plural form" (Is it like octupi? axii?  )
Also whenever you turn the car, or brake or accelerate, you do move up and down, left and right, and forwards and backwards. Unless you live in paper mario land.

The cost thing makes sense and so does the concern of off-axis mounting. But measuring the vertical change at one point of the car won't tell you anything about yaw, pitch or roll. You'd need 2 vertical accelerometers at two known positions to provide any useful info there. But as long as it's in the box for the same price, sweet

People that turn their own suspension are interested in vertical G-force.

how many g's can this sensor read up to? how many g's will damage it? if there rated pretty high then these can be awsome suspension sensors on the outboard suspension, by the wheels. the ocillations & vibrations there are pretty high though I think

can read up to +/- 6G, rated to withstand +/- 2000G

that'll work fine then, last thing, do you think they'd be affected by a close by magnetic field? these would make a great tool for mechanics in diagnosing suspension issues, they could be temporarily attached with heavy magnets...

I would not expect magnetic fields to be a problem, though I have not tested it.
