Measuring Title Angle

[cshreffler]

Which sensor or combination of sensors could be used to measure title angle?

I'd like to actually measure the angle at which something is being titled. I don't believe that an accelerometer or a gyroscope will give me that information directly. Is there another sensor that will?

Thank you for your ideas!

If the object is stationary, a 3-axis accelerometer will do that. Since Gravity provides a constant acceleration force of 1G in the vertical axis, with a little trigonometry, you can determine how far the sensor is tilted from vertical by measuring the force on all 3 axis.

The object won't be stationary.

Then you need the combined output of several inertial sensors. This guide shows you how to calculate pitch/roll & heading using an IMU:

Perfect. Thank you very much! I have placed an order for the board I need.
