LEVEL INDICATOR FOR TILT CYLINDER ON TNT

[npalen]

I bought an inexpensive remote tilt reader. The unit is for table saws etc. Under $25. The sensor and the readout connect with a usb cable. The sensor is magnetic and the readout has an rechargeable battery pack. Should be fun to play with... Although I'm an old school operator new tech intrigues me

Interesting! A long USB cable would let you mount the sensor about anywhere on the tractor or attachment.

I also ordered 2 10' usb cables. I have a usb port on the tractor for recharging.
Potentially you could manually level the bucket, place the unit anywhere on the bucket or gannon and set the unit to zero. Then any movement could be read in % of angle change.
There are a lot of variables... most of my experiments work somewhat. We shall see.
