I've spoken to the guys and the accuracy needs to be as close to 0.01° as possibly. I've looked at that KMA200 and it's resolution is

Resolution better than 0.05°

so I've forwarded that spec onto them to see if it suits there needs.

For the Angle sensor I've been looking around and this one popped up more than once: ADXL345 any thoughts on using this?

Hi everyone, I work for an engineering company and I've been asked to look into the feasibility of a remote monitoring station. The scope I've been given is that the end product will be attached to a building or structure and will measure the angle that the device is attached at. Each week the devic...

@deshipu I am using a PyBoard for this and I have tried using a 5v input but still no luck.

Thanks for that tip, I moved over to the Mac and no problems since, not with running the code anyway, the output of the code is rubbish. I have tried reading input from the sensor using ADC, but the values it is displaying are all over the shop. Has anyone used one before? I have been using this gui...

I finally have my Ultrasonic Sensor, but I seem to have a problem with my code, it keeps saying 'Syntax Error' on line 22, yet I've been staring for hours and I cannot see what I am doing wrong def findrange(): import pyb import time print("Distance Measurement") TRIG = pyb.Pin('X6', pyb.Pin.OUT) EC...

Thanks for that ExtInt example, I just tested it on my IR module and I discovered a slight problem (with the module not your code), the sensor doesn't detect anything in front of it until its less than 2cm in front, not as much range as I would have liked. I have looked at UltraSonic Modules here , ...

Thanks for the link, I had a read and it all makes a bit more sense to me now. My next question is, I have a Obstacle Avoidance IR sensor with 3 pins, GND, VCC & OUT. Now I read the pin sheet and I figured the VCC should go to the 3V3 pin, as the sensor can take from 3.3->5 [so I don't need a resist...

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. After purchasing some resistors I finally actually did something with my PyBoard last night and hooked up an LED via a breadboard I'm quite proud of myself at this little achievement. One thing that has confused me though, I had a wire going from X1 -> resis...

I have just ordered some resistors so once they arrive I can start playing a bit more. I have found an online guide teaching me how to use a breadboard and a Raspberry Pi so I'm going to try and work out how to use the PyBoard in place of the Pi. Out of interest I have a led screen being loaned to m...
