Abstract

This paper describes accelerometer, which is an electromechanical device that can be used for various applications like tilt detection, obstacle detection, motion inputs, earthquake sensing, etc. Tilt detection is a simple application of an accelerometer where a change in angular position of the system in any direction is detected and indicated the corresponding angle scaled from microcontroller output. In this article utilize the ADXL335 3-axis accelerometer for tilt measurement and error is calculated from the actual desired position. This article also studies the merits and demerits of one axis and two axis tilt measurement using an accelerometer. An arduino Uno board and arduino software are used to process the data received from the accelerometer.
