ADXL345 Accelerometer Starter Kit Kit with Arduino Uno + LED
ADXL345 Accelerometer Starter Kit with Arduino Uno & OLED – See Tilt & Tap in Real Time
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine holding a small breadboard in your hand, tilting it in any direction, and instantly seeing the angle change on a bright OLED screen. That’s exactly what you’ll create with this ADXL345 starter kit — a portable motion display that also detects taps and shows real-time acceleration vectors. It’s an exciting first project for CBSE Class 11–12 physics experiments, ATL Tinkering Lab activities, or simply satisfying your curiosity about how smartphone screens know which way is up.
What You'll Build
A compact accelerometer demo that reads X, Y, Z acceleration from the ADXL345 over I2C, calculates tilt angles, and draws live bars, numbers, and tap alerts on the 0.96-inch OLED. Power it with a 9V battery, hold it in your palm, and watch the display follow your every move. It doubles as a tap counter — perfect for demonstrating impact detection or motion-triggered events.
What You'll Learn
- How to wire and communicate with a 3-axis accelerometer using I2C protocol
- Converting raw acceleration values into meaningful tilt angles (pitch and roll)
- Programming tap detection with configurable thresholds and axis selection
- Rendering real-time sensor data on a 0.96-inch OLED using U8g2 or Adafruit GFX library

Who This Kit Is For
Young makers aged 10 and above taking their first dive into sensor electronics, CBSE Class 11–12 students needing a hands-on physics demonstration of accelerometer principles, and B.Tech ECE/EEE freshers at VIT, SRM, or NIT campuses exploring I2C devices. It’s also a ready-to-use project for ATL Tinkering Labs and Smart India Hackathon prototypes that require motion input.
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?
The included QR code opens your AI companion for instant troubleshooting, and you can always message us on WhatsApp for live guidance.
Do I need to solder anything?
No soldering required — all connections use the breadboard and male-male jumper wires. Just plug in components and you’re ready to code.
Can I see the raw acceleration numbers on my computer?
Yes, the Arduino IDE’s serial monitor displays X, Y, Z values. The OLED provides a portable, battery-powered graph you can carry anywhere.
Is this kit suitable for a school science exhibition?
Absolutely. Students frequently use this exact setup to demonstrate real-time tilt measurement, tap detection, and motion vector visualization in CBSE/ICSE science fairs.
ADXL345 reads X/Y/Z acceleration over I2C. OLED visualises tilt and tap detection in real time.
