Arduino Orbit Simulator Kit: Two-Body Physics on OLED - Compoden
Arduino OLED Two-Body Orbit Simulation Kit - Trace Elliptical Orbits with Potentiometer Control
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Move beyond textbook diagrams of Kepler's laws. This Arduino kit lets you code a real-time orbital simulation where a luminous pixel traces an elliptical path on a 0.96-inch OLED. Twist a potentiometer to stretch the eccentricity in real time-watch astronomy turn into an interactive instrument right on your breadboard.
What You'll Build
A working two-body orbit simulator that plots the trajectory of a celestial body under Newtonian gravity. The OLED displays an elliptical orbit with a moving dot. Two potentiometers let you control eccentricity and animation speed, turning abstract equations into a compact, battery-powered demo you can present at science fairs, B.Tech mini-projects, or CBSE physics practicals.
What You'll Learn
- Translate two-body gravitational equations into Arduino C++ code
- Drive a 0.96-inch I2C OLED for real-time pixel plotting and animation
- Map analog potentiometer readings to control orbital eccentricity seamlessly
- Iterate and tune a physics simulation loop for smooth motion on limited hardware

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for CBSE Class 11-12 students exploring computational physics, B.Tech ECE/EEE first-years looking for a compact instrument, and participants in Smart India Hackathon or ATL Tinkering Labs needing a data-driven demonstration. Engineering aspirants at IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS Pilani will find it a solid project for physics lab submissions.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code inside the kit to access your personalized AI build companion, trained on this exact circuit. It can troubleshoot wiring, suggest code fixes, or explain physics concepts. For personal help, reach us on WhatsApp; our engineers respond within hours on business days.
Do I need prior coding experience?
The kit includes well-commented Arduino code you can understand and modify. The AI companion explains each line, so even if you're new to C++, you'll learn by building.
Can I simulate a three-body system with this kit?
The focus is stable two-body Newtonian orbits that run smoothly on an Arduino Uno. You can attempt restricted three-body simulations by extending the code-the AI companion can guide you through the math.
What if a component arrives damaged?
We test every part as a complete system before shipping. If any component fails due to a manufacturing defect, we replace it free within 7 days. Just message us on WhatsApp.
