Build a Self-Balancing Beam with the Arduino Uno Tilt Indicator Kit

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 construct a physical balance beam that automatically corrects itself using a tilt sensor and servo motor — a vivid hands-on introduction to feedback control systems, the same principle used in drones and self-balancing robots. No prior coding experience is required; just curiosity about how machines maintain stability.

What You'll Build

A tilt-responsive beam that moves a servo‑driven indicator to stay horizontal even when you tilt the base. The MPU6050 accelerometer reads real‑time tilt, and the Arduino calculates a proportional correction to drive the servo. The result is a visible, intuitive demonstration of P‑controller logic — you’ll literally watch the system work to keep things level.

What You'll Learn

MPU6050 tilt drives servo to keep a balance beam horizontal using P-controller. Visual intro to control.
