This paper presents the design, implementation,
and test stages of a low-cost inclinometer system. The main block
consists of the MEMS-based two-axis inclinometer sensor,
custom-designed isolated data acquisition circuit, Raspberry Pi
single board computer with open-source Python-based software,
and remote FTP server. The selection of hardware components,
and the algorithm of software are given in detail. Results of
system verification, noise characterization, temperature
dependency measurements, and long-term test on a high-rise
building have revealed that the inclinometer system is suitable
for structural health monitoring applications.
