Could have a peak at your code? Thanks, Bill I am a physics and astronomy teacher and I’ve been thinking about creating an app that would take these kinds of measurements on amusement park rides.

Right after launch there is nothing, so I think once the GPS and accelerometer started to compete, everyone lost. The accelerometer still works fine. I was told that it is set to +/- 2.3g so that what I saw was expected. According to the GPS data the liftoff was at 3g or so.

Does the accelerometer still seem to work? (I wonder if high gs might have long term damaging effects.) Have you figured out why you don’t have any data for the last launch yet?
