Excellent idea!!
I'm not certain it would give any useful information that the off board Chronograph couldn't supply, but it would always be present and available for measurement. Real time feedback during a shot may not be possible, but by no means impossible.
We plan on using our free standing unit to profile our system. We will also make it available at the Sacramento Regional to any team that would like to test with it.
Now, you have piqued interest. I just HAVE to write the code for a single sensor Chronograph!!
Stay tuned for code.
