Turn almost any object into an inertial dash compass that points in the direction of your vehicle’s inertia!
Setup Instructions:
- Choose an Object:
- The object will be easier to balance if it has at least one axis of symmetry and is equally weighted across both sides of this axis.
- The object should not weigh more than approx. 500g
- Attach the Bearing:
- Secure an 8mm OD x 3mm ID bearing to the bearing mount using an M3 x 8mm screw.
- Using super glue, attach the bearing mount near the object’s center of mass along its axis of symmetry.
- Ensure the object is slightly back-heavy.
- Stand Alignment:
- Ideally the stand should angle the nose of the object upwards about 10 degrees which will keep it pointed forward when the vehicle is stationary.
- You may need to use the flat or angled stand depending on the shape of your dash and where you want to mount .
- Before securing the stand using double sided tape, test to see if the object sits properly in the stand while your vehicle is on flat ground.
