Tilt Sensor Circuit

I'm trying to design a circuit/product for my degree that checks that an angle is correct. EG. an incline of a slope/ladder etc is correct (say between 25 - 30 degrees) and if it is outside the limit a buzzer goes off. Maybe even have a display to show the angle. I'm trying to do this on a tight budget, i have looked into tilt sensors but the only cheap ones I have seen are the trigger ones with either a ball or tilt switch, is there anything programmable or customizable?

Does this make sense, I am competent in soldering and know the basics, could someone put me in the right direction, any existing circuits out there?

Regards,

Will

The Parallex MX2125 works great for tilt. Available from RS. Puts out a PWM signal. Sorry but cannot find my notes.
