Hi All,
I am in process of building 2-Axis Inclinometer. Ideally a 2 or 3 axis mems accelerometer along with a mems gyroscope should solve the problem. There are 6 axis solutions available from ST, Invensense and others with digital interface to host controller. All costing nearly about 5-6 USD max. In their application they do not mention that this can be used as +/- 90 deg inclinometer. I need resolution up to 0.001 deg.
Yet, I came across a product from Analog Devices - ADIS16201. This product claims that it can be used as +/- 90 deg inclinometer. This is also a 2 axis accelerometer but costing around 30 USD!!!! I compared the specs and almost all are same.
Why is this price difference? What should I go for? A cheaper solution or a costlier solution like Analog Devices?
Thank you,
Regards
Rahul Shah
