IMU

reason for this project is so that mech can get real data about how the suspension performs to influence design of the next car, although I think on the hw side the goal should be to make something as simple as versatile as possible. So for me that looks like:

  • small board, easy mounting to wherever (just vhb tape?)

  • very simple firmware, sends raw IMU data over can, little to no onboard processing

  • two connections, CAN in/out, and 12V power
