General Discussion / A newbie asking for Help for a custom Inclinometer project :)

« on: August 22, 2022, 02:15:07 AM »

Hi! Let me start by saying that I'm totally new at this and found this site after a lot of searching on the web about a nice solution for my problem. I need and inclinometer that has the sensor and the display away from each other (connected by a 1 m or less cable probably), I've searched for this and the solutions that came up are too expensive (for a pro market) or have the display and inclinometer as one unit, I've thought about dissemble a unit for my usage, I was surprised because I knew that more sophisticated sensors are used for FPV pilots that even send wireless information to remote controllers... so why is a roll (and maybe tilt) inclinometer with a wired display so hard to find!   . Then I found this website with custom builds for an array of applications, maybe I could find a solution for my problem:

I founded this one: https://tinycircuits.com/blogs/learn/117328583-tiny-inclinometer that seems promising, I've just had to find the way of detach the display so I could mount it to my camera monitor and attach the sensor to the camera body

and this one got my attention: https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Kits/TinySaber_Programming_Tutorial/ . Because a led stripe would be a more intuitive display for out of balance information than numbers on a display, but it seems that it was only thought for that kit.

Any direction on the right way would be so helpful, Thanks!
