The wireless system for remote measurement of tilt measures the tilt angles of an object with respect to the local g-vector and communicates the measurements toward a mobile device able to display them or to transfer them further to a PC or to a PDA. A low cost implementation solution is presented, with references to both the hardware platform and to the main ideas behind the algorithms present in the software. Higher versatility is achieved through avoidance of the need to calibrate the sensor to the local value of the g acceleration, using algorithms in which this value does not appear in the computation process
