    OP
    Quoted from northvibe:

    Now that they can actually get an accurate reading of the games slope, tilt, etc, this could be helpful to having the online tournaments and scores.

    The playfield could still be unlevel with the head board, but putting an electronic leveling device under the playfield with a software routine would be great.

    If you were under the machine adjusting the feet and the game was reading aloud the pitch and level - that would be great.

    Those accelerometer chips are .40 in quantity.

    Quoted from jwwhite15:

    Wow, that is a pretty good price. The ones we use are closer to 8k.

    How about the one you use in your cell phone every day?

    I'm glad that thing is not 8k....

    Quoted from megadeth2600:

    For an application like tilt detection, both would work well . On something aeronautical, you might want to consider the $8K one.

    Shit, now you tell me........
