vehicle top Performance-Measurement (hp) Variant 2

This Microcontroller will measure your vehicle's Top-Performance in Horespower (hp).

SIMPLER, Variant 1

- Now uses a composite output (Channel 1: TOP HP; Channel 2: @RPM; Channel 3: Additional Value; Channel 4: Current HP)
- Now has an additional Value to store (So you can log your current gear or current speed when the highest hp was reached)
- No corrected RPM

- Place the microcontroller anywhere in your vehicle
- Hook it up to a Torque-Meter (should be at the drivetrain after the transmission (or so I believe))
- Drive around for a while using different gears and rps (aka let it redline before shifting)
- The output of it will tell you what performance your vehicle can archive at which RPM.

- Why does it display your RPM? -This is the standard for peromance measuring, as your vehicle will reach your peak performance at a certain RPM range. Practically it doesn't really matter that much.
- How does the Formula work?
Explanation:
X*y*2pi is the formula for power, x being the Torque and y being the rps
multiplied by 1.36 to convert it to horsepower (and divided by 1000 because kiloWatts or sth)

Feel free to share your results. My aircraft powered Engine reaches 175hp @ 7900 rpm
