Norm,

| I took a look at the usdigital web site, and their inclinometers seem to
fit the bill. For two of
| each, ( $700), I wouldn't hesitate for a second if it were a customer
job. If a 'home' project,

I suggest that you check out the U.S. Digital T6 incremental inclinometer
($82). I believe it would do the job for you, especially since it has an
indexing feature. The absolute models is way to expensive. Also check out
their ICs for interfacing the encoder to a micro - perhaps the 7166. This is
the way I will probably go if and when!
