Measurement of g with an Arduino microcontroller in a simple free fall experiment

A simple way of measuring the terrestrial acceleration g in the basic lab that makes use of the Arduino microcontroller is proposed. Experimental results with a relative error of 0,1% were obtained and compared with the local value of g as measured by the Brazilian National Observatory at Rio de Janeiro.
