Arduino Smart Piggy Bank Kit with Arduino Nano: Build Your Own Digital Savings Tracker

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

Turn a simple cardboard box into a bank that knows exactly how much you have saved. This kit places an infrared sensor at the coin slot, so every coin that drops in gets counted and the running total appears on a crisp 0.96-inch OLED. It is a personal savings tracker that makes budgeting feel like a game.

What You'll Build

You will assemble a smart piggy bank using the included cardboard box as the housing. After wiring the IR sensor and OLED to the Arduino Nano, you will write the code that detects each coin passing the slot, updates the count, and displays the new total. A push button resets the count, giving you full control over your savings log.

What You'll Learn

• How an IR sensor detects objects and triggers an interrupt on the Arduino Nano
• Writing and uploading C++ code to display dynamic data on an OLED without flicker
• Debouncing a push button to reliably reset the savings total in real time
• Building a complete functional enclosure from a cardboard box, learning prototyping and design thinking
