I am learning to operate a tractor. One problem is that the bucket/forks do not maintain a constant angle with reference to the ground (i.e., level) as the front-end loader is raised. That is not such a problem with a bucket, but it can be embarrassing with pallet forks.
Does anyone know where to get the actual sensor for an electronic level? I could try hacking an "electronic level," but would prefer to buy just the sensor and have a datasheet to work with.
My idea is to build a device that would attach to the bucket or pallet forks and show the position relative to Earth level on, say, 5 LED's. Center would be level, one LED up or down from that would be + or - 3° and the top or bottom LED would show more than that angle.
A simple level won't work, because my reading position is on the wrong axis.
