2 Dual Axis Inclinometer Measurement Range +/-25° Digital Output Signal via I2C Accuracy ±0.1 ° Resolution 0.02 ° Dimensions W x D x H 25 x 25 x 16 mm Tiltmeter The NS-25/DQL2-IXA is a small board inclinometer based on dual axis tilt sensor, which works based on the conductivity principle. This microprocessor controls the inclinometer with a linearized and temperature compensated angle output signal via I2C.

4 Tilt compensated compass (a) Description: The HMC6343 is a solid-state compass module with tilt compensation from Honeywell. The HMC6343 has three axis of magneto, three axis of accelerometer, and a PIC core running all the calculations. What you get is a compass heading over I2C that stays the same even as you tilt the board. Solid-state (and many classic water based) compasses fail badly when not held flat. The tilt compensated HMC6343 is crucial for those real-world compass applications. Features: I2C interface 2 degree heading accuracy All in one compass solution Compass heading and tilt outputs Dimensions: 0.8x0.8"

5 Tilt compensated compass (b) Description: The LSM303DLH is a triple axis accelerometer combined with a triple axis magnetic sensor. This breakout board uses the LSM303DLH to give a you the data you need to feed into a microcontroller and calculate tilt-compensated output. Features: +- 2/4/8 g dynamically selectable full-scale to gauss magnetic field full-scale 16-bit data out I2C interface Embedded self-test
