You guys should check out the Analog ADXL202 - its a two-axis 2g
accelerometer. One chip, 1/4" square and about 1/8" thick, $20 in
single quantities, and is trivially easy to interface to a PIC (I've
got one interfaced to a F84). You can also get an eval board for $30
that has the chip mounted, you need to add two caps and a resistor,
and you get a standard 5-pin 0.1" header.

It gives you basically 0-90 degree tilt accuracy in both the X and Y
axis. With two of them, you can get full 360 degree tilt accuracy.

Its very cool tilting this board in your hand, and watching a servo
move to a position that correspends with the tilt...
