Marinus Damm - Ignite OSCON 2014

" summary

A lightweight measurement rig uses ride-height sensors from Ford Explorer bolted to the rear suspension, a Yo-Yo board to an Android phone for data logging, GPS for speed, battery, velcro and zip ties, and a jack plus scales for calibration. Field runs show the rear rises with speed; at 176 mph the lift is measurable but not enough to unload the rear wheels. Code and data live on GitHub under a community license; aim is 200 mph with a turbo Saab.
