Q: How do I safely simulate freefall? I have an HP "portable
|
||||
workstation" which has about 3.5kg and a plastic case, so letting it
|
||||
fall to the ground is out of question...
|
||||
|
||||
A: The sensor is pretty sensitive, so your hands can do it. Lift it
|
||||
into free space, follow the fall with your hands for like 10
|
||||
centimeters. That should be enough to trigger the detection.
