botlfed98 said:i have a project where I need to measure 2 different angles and then take those 2 measurements and compute a final number. I was thinking about using inclinometers to do the measuring of the angles but am really stuck on what hardware/software to use. I was hoping to find something that is already off the shelf and can be purchased for a relatively reasonable amount. Please let me know if you guys have any ideas, your help is greatly appreciated!
botlfed98 said:sure, didn't know if it really was important what I'm trying to measure...measuring the angle in which rail is tilted inwards towards the inside of the track and then want to do compute a final number dependent on the 2 measured angles.
botlfed98 said:yes i know how to measure the angles that I need to measure but am stuck on the next piece of hardware/software to use that would take my 2 signals/outputs and make a final calculation
To measure two different angles, you will need a protractor or a measuring tool with angle measurements. Place the protractor on one angle and align it with the vertex (point where the two lines meet) and one of the sides of the angle. Then, read the measurement on the protractor. Repeat this process for the second angle.
Angles are typically measured in degrees (°), but they can also be measured in radians (rad) or revolutions (rev). Make sure to check which unit is being used in your calculations or equations.
To calculate the difference between two angles, subtract the smaller angle from the larger one. For example, if one angle measures 60° and the other measures 40°, the difference would be 60° - 40° = 20°.
To calculate the sum of two angles, add the two angles together. For example, if one angle measures 30° and the other measures 45°, the sum would be 30° + 45° = 75°.
Angle measurements are used in various fields such as engineering, construction, and navigation. They can be used to determine the height of a building, the slope of a road, or the direction of a ship. They are also important in geometry and trigonometry for solving equations and problems.
