ATL Pollution Mapping Rover Kit – Map Campus Air Pollution with Arduino and GPS

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 ATL Pollution Mapping Rover Kit, students assemble an Arduino-powered rover equipped with an MQ135 gas sensor and a GPS module to survey air quality across their school or college campus. Every drive becomes a data-collection mission, revealing pollution hotspots and helping young innovators understand local environmental challenges. The rover logs coordinates and sensor readings that can be plotted on a map, bringing a real-world STEM investigation to life.

What You'll Build

You'll build a 2-wheel-drive rover that manually or autonomously traverses campus paths while logging air quality readings alongside GPS coordinates. The completed robot acts as a mobile environmental monitoring station, perfect for project exhibitions, ATL lab demonstrations, and class-level pollution surveys. Data can be saved and later visualized, turning a simple robot into a scientific instrument.

What You'll Learn

• Calibrate the MQ135 sensor to measure harmful gases like ammonia, benzene, and smoke
• Interface the NEO-6M GPS module with Arduino for real-time location tracking
• Control DC motors using the L298N driver to maneuver the rover along a path
• Log sensor data with GPS stamps and map pollution levels across a campus
