klee over on the VW-Vortex forums decided to use the Wii Remote as a G-Meter for his VW Jetta. He used GlovePIE on his laptop to communicate with the Wii Remote via the Blue-Tooth interface and dump all of the accelerometer readings to a comma delimited file. He then made up an MS Excel spread sheet with some basic physics calculations and graphs of the data.

The GlovePIE Script used

//Glovepie v0.29 script
var.t=time*86400

//Writes motion data to file
OutputToFile(RemoveUnits(var.t)+”,”+Wiimote.gx + “, ” + Wiimote.gy + “, ” + Wiimote.gz)

debug = var.t+’, ‘+wiimote.gx+’, ‘+wiimote.gy+’, ‘+wiimote.gz
