Build a Wearable Calorie Burn Estimator with Arduino Nano & 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.

From your wrist movement, classify whether you're walking, running, or cycling, then estimate the calories burned based on your weight and activity intensity. This kit transforms raw motion data into a personal fitness dashboard you can wear or carry — a complete wearable health project built on the Arduino Nano and MPU6050 motion sensor.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a compact wearable device that continuously reads motion data from the MPU6050, processes it on the Arduino Nano to identify your activity type in real time, and displays calorie burn estimates on the OLED screen. A simple two-button interface lets you input your weight and cycle through activity stats, making it a self-contained fitness tracker you can program and customize.

What You'll Learn

• Interface an MPU6050 6-axis sensor with Arduino Nano to capture accelerometer and gyroscope data
• Implement a classification algorithm to distinguish between walking, running, and cycling patterns
• Calculate calorie expenditure using MET values and user-supplied weight input
• Design a portable user interface with an OLED display and tactile buttons for wearable form factors

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students building a physics or computer science project, B.Tech ECE/EEE first-year students exploring wearable tech mini-projects, and participants in Smart India Hackathon health tracks. Also perfectly suited for ATL Tinkering Labs introducing motion analytics and biosensor concepts, as well as hobbyists wanting a practical motion-to-calorie pipeline.

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.
