Raf Forces to G

[dylan]

Hi all,
how can i convert the x/y force to G ? Actually the values are sort of -6000 to 4000 interval... i suppose they are 65535 scaled m/s values but i'm not 100% sure.
thanks

Hey Dylan :)

"G force" is really a measure of acceleration, so you divide acceleration in m/s by the strength of gravity (9.81) to get "g forces"

Forces should be in Newtons. 4000N is about the sort of forces you would expect to be seeing, so that figure sounds about right.

hey bob, pm me i need to contact you :)
Anyway.. how can i convert so x/y forces to lateral/longituginal accelleration?

Force = Mass * Acceleration

stupid me :)
