You can build an inclinometer using an ADXL202. Use the pulse width
modulated outputs into the CCP module to get the PIC to measure it. Mount
the ADXL202 so the 2 sensors axes at 45 degrees to horizontal at 0 incline.
Now a little maths will calculate the angle of incline. Analog devices have
an application note on interfacing the ADXL series to a PIC, using the
ADXL202 as an example.

The ADXL202 is available in DIP and SMD, and if you go through the AD
website, you can easily get two as free samples, so the bank account
certainly will not be drained.
