I built something similar to create a variable response throttle pedal module. In fact you can do it with a single chip and some support circuitry. As ever its a bit more complicated that since the system also takes a signal from a steering angle sensor.
I'll see if I can plot the response curve of the G sensor when I get chance like I did for the throttle pedal (attached).
Very cool stuff indeed, If you can build a separate ecu to manage the electronic brakes that would be, Out of this world as far as handling upgrades! To be able to choose different maps for which brakes can activates with-in certain steering angles and g-loads, I think the guys at NASA are gonna start making new rules for HDDP.
