With a little R&D I have shown that John Barnes’ (HiTechnic Products ED2010)
light sensor has the resolution and sensitivity to accurately plot the meniscus
of a bubble. Using that sensor and a spirit level I have created a new accurate
level detector and used that to prototype a Laser Construction Level.
In the model, a platform is driven to level condition, as detected by spirit
levels and light sensors on the X and Y axes and a laser head spins to paint a
level-line on the surrounding walls and columns.
