angle meter?

[scooba_285]

anybody know where to get those meters that show you your incline/ decline angle and side angle?

SCA used to have one, nearly brought one for myself 12 months ago but apparently the only time a D40 leans is when it has one flat tyre so I decided against it.

If you have a new Android smartphone there are several options:

The last one is ported from the iPhone.

Maybe the only time YOURS leans over.

You do need a bluetooth OBD adapter for this to work. Jason found an inexpensive one and provided a link to the supplier of a bluetooth OBD adapter.

I purchased this device myself and had limited success with my HTC Touch HD and my Pioneer F900BT. I haven't tried my Pioneer F910BT because it pretty much looks the same as the 900, I can't be stuffed using my Palm (which may not even work now) but I'm LOVING the Torque application available in the Android store on my Samsung phone.

I cannot see why this same adapter would not work on the iPhone. It's ELM327-compliant, make sure the iPhone software uses that and go for it.

Tony, I'm 45 and pretty sure you're older than me, but I have no idea what you just said.

On topic, I reckon if you start tipping over, the angle is too great!

I'm older, but not by a lot. It's the stuff I do every single day, so I'm used to it.

I just bought one of these from ebay, Inclinometer Clinometer Angle Slope Gauge and tried it out with a protractor, and was relatively accurate................ and cheap.
Just had an issue when it was posted, it was just put in a padded bag and arrived a bit worse for wear, but still worked
