...nice info (have seen this before). I like reading ‘meaty’ docs like this- thanks for posting!
Here’s the procedure I use to get helper units up and running in a train... others use this same procedure and it works for them as well: -...
I don’t like the new accelerometer at all really... they should’ve just taken the old accelerometer style, rotated it 90° and then placed it where...
