Earthquake Vibration Logger Kit with Arduino Nano + NRF24
Earthquake Vibration Logger Kit: Build a Wearable Alert Vest with Arduino Nano & NRF24
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 strapping on a vest that vibrates in four distinct patterns the moment a remote sensor detects a tremor. With this kit, you’ll wirelessly link two Arduino Nano boards via NRF24L01 radio, programming one as a sensor transmitter and the other as a wearable vibration receiver. It’s a complete prototype that demonstrates how early warning systems translate ground motion into tactile alerts—perfect for understanding earthquake engineering and haptic feedback.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble and code a two-node wireless network: a transmitter that interprets a simulated seismic trigger (like a tilt switch or accelerometer you can add later), and a receiver vest with four coin vibration motors. Each motor is mapped to a different trigger ID, so you can wear the vest and feel exactly which sensor activated. The result is a functional, hands-on seismology demo that teaches wireless protocols and motor control.
What You'll Learn
- Building a point-to-point wireless link using NRF24L01 transceivers
- Programming Arduino Nano boards for sensor data transmission and reception
- Designing transistor-driven vibration motor circuits with haptic patterns

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is designed for students and hobbyists who want to explore wireless sensor networks through a tangible wearable project. It’s especially relevant for CBSE Class 11-12 physics students building an earthquake alert system, B.Tech ECE/EEE students prototyping for mini-projects, Smart India Hackathon participants, or ATL Tinkering Lab mentors demonstrating haptic feedback.
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 AI companion provides step-by-step debugging. If you still face issues, WhatsApp us with photos of your setup and we’ll help within 24 hours.
How does the NRF24 wireless link work in this kit?
The two Arduino Nanos communicate over 2.4GHz radio. The transmitter board sends a unique event code when a trigger (like a tilt sensor) fires, and the receiver board activates the corresponding vibration motor. You’ll learn to configure data packets and verify signal integrity.
Can I integrate real earthquake sensors?
Absolutely. The transmitter board is designed to accept external analog or digital inputs. You can connect an accelerometer or a DIY seismometer, and the AI companion will guide you on modifying the code to read and transmit that sensor data.
Is soldering included and required?
Yes, soldering is a core part of this intermediate kit. We include a soldering iron and solder wire. The AI companion covers essential soldering tips and common pitfalls so you can assemble confidently.
