the only two axis clinometer that I can find reasonably:
search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSea … -1003-1-ND
2 axis ±90 degrees, SPI and analog outs
Otherwise its pretty insensitive sensors (there were some with PWM outs on ebay recently that seem to have dissapeared)
I’m building a 4 wheeled rover and I’d like to know what incline it is currently on…
Any other suggestions? Could this be done with gyros (I don’t see a straight forward way to)

It sounds like you’re talking about an accelerometer such as this.
You can have more of a look around if you want, but I would use this term instead on inclinomter.

Well well… probably why I wasn’t finding many
I had always assumed accelerometers were for measuring force, not able to measure incline like that.
adds something else to buy from lynxmotion
well the acceleration it is measuring is gravity.
