Design of digital dipmeter based on MEMS accelerometer

A new type digital dipmeter combined with the MEMS accelerometer and the SoC-type C8051F040 MCU is designed.By conditioning and A/D acquisition for MEMS accelerometer output signal,it compensates the temperature after obtaining digital signal,calculates inclination value and uses LCD1602 display.The dipmeter features small size,light weight,high precision,it can be widely used in building,machinery,roads,bridges and geological exploration and so on,such as gravity reference system to measure the inclination.
