In this video we show how to approximate pitch and roll from a 3-axis accelerometer. This is a simple demo project, and gets reasonable results for angles less than 45 degrees. Also, note that it will misinterpret vibration as tilt, so it should only be used for demonstration purposes.

I strongly suggest picking up an arduino nano, since it can plug directly into the breadboard, making a portable system more practical. You can pick one up here:
