Map Every Inhale, Exhale and Movement with the Arduino Nano + MPU6050 Advanced Sleep Study Kit

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

When sleep specialists need to monitor breathing outside a lab, they turn to chest-strap respirometers that measure every subtle expansion of the ribcage. Now you can build that same tool - a lightweight, self-contained logger that tracks respiratory rate, depth and pattern through force-sensitive resistors and motion tracking, storing timestamped data on a microSD card for later analysis. Whether you are working on a Smart India Hackathon health-monitoring prototype or a B.Tech biomedical project, this kit turns a handful of precision components into a clinically relevant recording device, ready to wear overnight.

What You'll Build

You will assemble a wearable chest strap that uses two FSR 402 sensors and an MPU6050 accelerometer/gyroscope to capture each breath cycle as a high-resolution waveform. The Arduino Nano processes the sensor signals, drives a 0.96-inch OLED display showing real-time breath count and pattern, and logs every data point with an accurate DS3231 RTC timestamp to a microSD card. The entire device runs from a rechargeable 3.7V LiPo battery, giving you hours of untethered sleep recording.

What You'll Learn

• Calibrate force-sensitive resistors to detect minuscule chest circumference changes
• Fuse accelerometer and gyroscope data from the MPU6050 to filter out motion artefacts
• Implement interrupt-driven data logging with DS3231 RTC for sample-accurate timestamps
• Design a low-power wearable system that runs for a full night on a 500mAh battery

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

The advanced build assumes you have prior Arduino experience and are comfortable with soldering and sensor interfacing. It suits B.Tech ECE, EEE or Biomedical Engineering students developing health-monitoring wearables, CBSE Class 12 students extending their physics project into applied biophysics, and mentors at ATL Tinkering Labs guiding deep-technology prototypes. Smart India Hackathon teams working on non-invasive sleep apnea screening will find the logging chain and sensor array ready to integrate into a larger diagnostic workflow.
