What is a 90-degree Laser Level and How do You Use it?

The 90-degree laser level is also referred to as the square laser level because it projects horizontal and vertical beams on a surface at an angle of 90 degrees only. While laser levels like Rotary levels can project lines at an angle of 360 degrees, the 90-degree level is limited to 90 degrees.

The laser level type can be found on Laser Level Hub and there you can read more about the different brands available. The square laser level is your ideal option for construction jobs such as tile layout, and for decks and sheds. This laser type is handy and that is one of its greatest features.



How to use the 90-degree Laser Level

Using the 90-degree laser level is not different from using most types of line laser levels. As one of the best options for builders, the 90-degree level can be used outdoor and indoor for diverse renovation, remodeling, and installation purposes.

The 90-degree laser level comes with a leveling base that it can sit on, and it can also be made to rest on a tripod at elevated angles. The leveling mechanism in this laser level could be through a bubble vial, pendulum, or magnetic with electronic sensors. The entire piece normally comes in a durable plastic case or enclosure. According to LaserLevelHub Top Laser Power Tool Reviews, the best laser level for builders should be sturdy, and long-lasting, in addition to providing great visibility and accuracy.



To use a laser level, you must determine whether you want to use it in a manual or automatic way. The manual level works simply by focusing the laser line inside the bubble vials by turning the attached knob. This manual level is suited for DIY situations. The manual 90-degree level is less expensive and normally requires much less battery power than the automatic or self-leveling laser level.

The self-leveling or automatic level is the best laser level for builders. This Option comes with a greater degree of accuracy and you can find a wide range of self-leveling laser levels by reading the best laser level review at Laser Level Hub.

This type of level works best when placed on a surface closer to the desired level. The laser projector hangs just like a pendulum inside this level and with the magnetic component and gravity working together to make the pendulum still, you will have to project the beam through a prism or light. The best self-leveling levels come with electronic self-leveling sensors to boost their accuracy and visibility; hence you don’t have to set the device yourself.

Conclusion

Electronic or self-leveling 90-degree levels are suitable for outdoor building and construction works, especially when they have automatic sensors, while manual levels can be suitable for indoor and outdoor projects. You can also consider automatic 90-degree levels for indoor jobs that require the level to be moved around frequently. The self-leveling or automatic level will help in saving time while boosting visibility and accuracy. For more information on the best types of manual and self-leveling automatic laser levels, please read up on LaserLevelHub Construction Power Tool Reviews and Comparisons before you make your final decisions on what product to buy for your homebuilding projects.

Hi,

Welcome to the forum.

Honestly, if you are worried about your CPU resources then you need to upgrade your CPU.

Attract Mode or AM as it is called around here is just a front end that remains constant while it is open. It is the external programs that take up more CPU bandwidth such MAME emulator etc etc.

If you want to reduce anything in AM then don't use video snaps, just use static images and if you want to go even further then just use lists.

However, if you are honestly worried about your CPU usage, you need a new processor

What is your current CPU and memory set up? It helps to know what your system actually is.

Regards

Mark

The "basic" layout will use little resources. It's not very exciting though. There are a lot of layouts that look good and don't require many resources. Attract Mode is popular with Raspberry Pi users which don't have a ton of power. Any of the layouts that are built/used for the Pi would be good choices. There are also layouts that have a lot of configuration settings builtin so you can turn off some of the flashy features to reduce the resources you need.

Layouts are really a matter of preference. Are you looking for something that uses just text to display rom names? Are you looking for something that uses wheels? Do you want to see videos for the roms?

My advice would be to look at the layout gallery (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=481.0) and find and try something you like and see how it preforms and if it contains settings to turn features on or off to help reduce the resources that are consumed. You can also view layouts in videos on youtube to find something you like. If you search youtube for Attract Mode videos for Raspberry Pi, they should require less power to run.
