Build a DIY Safe Movement Alarm with Arduino Uno & MPU6050

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

With this kit, you'll build a low-cost, highly responsive tilt alarm that blares a buzzer and flashes red LEDs the moment someone tries to move your safe or locker. It's a real-world security device that introduces the fundamentals of motion sensing with the MPU6050 accelerometer-gyroscope. Perfect for protecting jewelry boxes, cash drawers, or important documents, this project combines coding, electronics, and practical problem-solving in one hands-on build.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a compact circuit on a breadboard that continuously monitors the safe's parked angle. The Arduino Uno reads tilt data from the MPU6050 and triggers an active buzzer and two bright red LEDs if the angle deviates even slightly from the preset threshold. The result is a fully functional, battery-powered security alarm you can deploy on any secure container at home, giving you instant alerts whenever someone tampers with your belongings.

What You'll Learn

• Reading raw accelerometer data from the MPU6050 using I2C communication
• Setting tilt angle thresholds in Arduino code to detect movement
• Controlling an active buzzer and LEDs as alarm outputs
• Building a compact, battery-powered security circuit on a breadboard
