Abstract
The word clinometer is derived from ‘clino’ which means slope or incline. Clinometer is an instrument whose main purpose is to find the height and the distance from one given point to the top of a building/object. The height of the building/object is calculated along with the distance from the foot of the building/object to the place where we are standing. Currently it can be calculated manually by using trigonometric functions along with the help of a Clinometer.
So we present a solution by using a microcontroller (which will calculate the distance and height of the building/object using trigonometric functions digitally) and a rotating pointer to point towards a building/object. Hence we can find the heights of tall buildings within fraction of seconds with utmost accuracy. This is a simple and wonderful innovation which would be extremely beneficial to mankind.
