I have to measure my inclination angle to the horizontal with accuracy of 0.1 Degrees . Do you have a suitable component? If so do you have the evaluation board with sample code.
Thanks
Hi Isaac,
My best recommendation would be to use the MMA8652FC, it is a Digital 3 axis accelerometer with 32- level FIFO for each one of the axis. It has a resolution of roughly 1mg/bit (at +/- 2g range) because of its 12-bit ADC register.
Another part that you could use would be the MMA8451Q basically the same features, but it comes with a higher resolution 0.25mg/LSB at range of +/-2g due to its 14-bit register ADC and it comes with the additional feature of two programmable interrupt pins for seven interrupt sources.
You can easily measure the inclination angle, you just need to retrieve the incident gravitational force on each of the axis. Pretty sure that the high resolution we offer would be enough for you to measure 0.1 degree.
Below you will find the link to both data sheets.

As for the evaluation boards, I’d rather recommend get a development board instead, for convenience. For example the FRDM KL25. You can find plenty of code for this one.
