You could use the effect of gravity force and a potentiometer (variable
resistant) to create
such thing. In fact if you use a joystick mechanism (or quadraphonic
double-potentiometer
volume control in the old day) in upside down position and have a heavy
weight attached
at the joystick end. Voila, you have a 2-axis inclinometer for cheap.

Cheers,

Hello,
I've been searching, without much luck for a single axis
inclinometer with
a reasonable settle time and +-30 degree resolution, for less than $50.
Anyone have any leads?

Thanks,
Aaron
