I posted the data from the homemade accelerometer I flew on the Galaxy
on 7/18 (I think Tom got a photo of it). Check out the data in
Files. It's based on a Basic Stamp microcomputer and a +/-18g
accelerometer I found on SparkFun.com. The trigger was set to start
recording at 2g's, but I really didn't get any data until about 11.
Found the problem in the source code. I had the microcomputer giving
me a beep from the piezo speaker when it started taking data for
ground tests. Forgot to pull that out for the launch, so the system
wasted time doing that instead of recording data.

Have to have a word with the software guys.

Tom
