LabVIEW (Accelerometer)

Shock Potentiometer Mount

 Accelerometer  Finish installing filters  Potentiometers  LabVIEW coding (FPGA & real-time)  Mount 4 others  Road Test (hopefully by mid-July)  Pressure, temp, & accelerometer  Maybe shocks?  Test RIO with USB drive  Acquire other sensors  Brake pressure, wheel speed
