Re: Measuring angle relative to the floor

Accelerometer measures acceleration along three linear axis. It won't give you rotational data. A gyro will give you rotational velocity. It won't directly give you rotational data, but an integrating the gyro will. That is, of course, assuming you have the gyro aligned in the proper orientation.
