robtillaart:
With the PC audio card you can use the microphone or line in plug to sample data.Trick is to get the accelerometer to generate a signal that is within the limits of that input.
What accelerometer did you have in mind? (please post datasheet)
Have a look at:
Thanks for the useful links robtillaart. I am not sure which sensor should I use but something that should be affordable and cover up to 10,000 Hz frequency range. Are you looking for DC voltage range?
So based on what you say the output from the sensor should be normalized in the input Sound Card range. I also heard that they are AC input and it needs to change the DC voltage change to AC one.
