Master Stock Data Visualization: Candlestick Chart Plotter Kit with Arduino Mega

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

Transform raw OHLC stock price data stored on a microSD card into a live, scrollable candlestick chart. The bright 1.8-inch TFT display renders every open, high, low, and close as classic price bars, while three tactile buttons let you step through historical dates. It’s a hands-on way to merge embedded systems with real-world financial data—right from your breadboard.

What You'll Build

A standalone, battery-powered candlestick chart plotter that reads CSV files from an SD card and draws interactive price history. Scroll forward and backward through days of data, with precise date labels and accurate candle scaling. Ideal for visualizing Indian stock market movements, backtesting strategies, or presenting a professional-grade electronics project at Maker Faire or college symposiums.

What You'll Learn

• Parsing structured financial data from CSV files on an SD card
• Drawing pixel-level candlestick graphics on a TFT display using Adafruit GFX library
• Debouncing multiple tactile buttons to create a responsive scrollable UI
• Managing memory and large datasets on the Arduino Mega 2560’s 8 KB SRAM
