The Level Sensor
The Level 'Project'

The purpose of this project is to prototype
a Construction Level using LEGO and the following non-LEGO components: Two String
Levels, two EOPD sensors (ED2010) and one Laser Pointer.
 Laser
Construction Level |
A Construction Level consists of a self-leveling
platform and a rotating laser device. Commonly a concrete base or plinth is built in
the middle of the construction floor on which the instrument is placed. A surveyor
accurately establishes the height of the instrument centerline. When it is
turned on, it first self-levels. Then, the laser-head spins, painting a red line on
all the walls and columns and, of course, on a tradesman's tape measure. So when the
drawings call for the 'finished floor' to be 3 ft below 'datum' the carpenter can measure
down 3 ft from the red line. |
| "So you're saying a self leveling
platform? Whaddya got, some new kind of sensor to detect level, that no-one's
ever heard of before?" |

Yes indeed, that's what I'm saying. Read on...!!
