Remote angle gauge

[Stokes760]

Was looking for a remote angle gauge for a box blade found this
http://gemred.en.alibaba.com/product/975416243-219132496/remote_sensor_electronic_angle_gauge.htm
Maybe have something like this mounted and a display viewable from cab
Any buddy think this will work or found something that does

Not meaning to derail the thread...but IMHO, the site isn't fake - but it's the probability of the overseas vendors not being thoroughly vetted. I think anyone can post they have widgets for sale at $1.22 ea in lots of 50,000 units. I can fully understand that no purchasing agent would even consider utilizing such a site - too much personal risk (loss of job). However, an entrepreneur perhaps might consider the risk to reward aspect.

Well the link is dead and cant find what i did. It looked like the standard welxey squair angle gauge with a ethernet port and anouher box same size with a ethernet port.
Im surprised something hasnt come along thats cost effective with accelerometers in cell phones and what not

What I saw on Alibaba was exactly what is listed at the above link. However the link gives a bit more detail.

Is this what you are looking for??

My property is uneven. A angle gauge would just complicate things.

I would do a bit more google searching before popping on what I listed. Above link is the second place I located (using my iPhone about to fall asleep in bed)...meaning I didn't spend but about 30 seconds searching and found two places. This one is half the price of the first one.

Glad to help. Hope it works.

I have one of the Wixey gauges. It takes a bit to settle down once you place it on something solid. If you put that or something like it on a tractor it would bounce around too much to ever get a reading. You would need a microcontroller to read it, average it, and spit out the moving average.
