Hello

Well·I am working on a sailing boat, I am not been·able to get my self through with the sailing boat balance. I am not sure what kind of sensor should I use, which can give me the Tilt value with refence to the upper part of the HULL.

Any confusion about the question please feel free to contact me, sajid_mehmood_205@hotmail.com

Regards
Amro

    So you want to see how far something is off perpendicular in reference to the desk reguardless of the tilt of the deck?

    You might be able to use a combination of a horizon sensor (IR temperature) and a slow drift gyroscope.

    well the idea behind this tilt sensing is to make a boat without a KEEL WEIGHT, and to work on it in such refernce that we can manipulate some weight to move out of the boat, just like a sailor, rather than a perminant weight attached with a center board.

    so i need those tilt values, according to which my weight will gona get out of the boat just like a sailor balancing the boat.
