C CoTang Member Dec 24, 2003 #3 Are you sure he doesn't mean an "Accelerometer"? <-- Correct spelling?
K koyeh182 New Member Dec 24, 2003 #4 i see... so how can i measure the tilt degree? what sensor should i use ? does accelerometer expensive ?

C CoTang Member Dec 25, 2003 #6 yeah well, just use an accelerometer. It made to meaurse changes in axis. You can get 1, 2 or 3 accelerometer. One to measure X or Y even Z. I think it cost about $5 bucks a chip or something, can't remember. Do a search online.

K koyeh182 New Member Jan 3, 2004 #7 thank's a lot CoTing! i'll do some online research about accelerometer.
