Earthquake Vibration Logger Plus Kit with Arduino Uno + MPU6050
Earthquake Vibration Logger & Camera Stabilizer Kit with Arduino Uno and 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 skyscraper sway to tabletop tremors, motion is everywhere. With this kit you build a working seismograph and a servo-driven stabilizer on one breadboard — registering every tilt and compensating in real time. It’s the gateway to understanding how modern buildings, drones, and camera gimbals stay steady.
What You'll Build
You assemble a vibration data logger that streams real‑time acceleration and gyroscope readings from the MPU6050 to your computer’s Serial Monitor. Then you transform that same sensor data into a corrective command for the SG90 servo, forcing a small platform to hold its angle even when the base shakes — exactly the principle behind a camera stabilizer or a ship’s anti‑roll system.
What You'll Learn
- Reading raw and calibrated data from a 6‑axis MPU6050 accelerometer + gyroscope
- Converting sensor values into tilt angles using Arduino code
- Controlling a servo motor’s precise angular position with PWM signals
- Implementing a basic feedback loop that keeps a platform level under external disturbances

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for CBSE Class 11–12 physics explorations, ATL Tinkering Labs, and B.Tech ECE/EEE mini‑projects — places where building a real sensor‑control loop makes textbook concepts click. Hobbyists and young makers from age 10 upward (with an adult nearby) will also enjoy seeing their breadboard react to a hand shake or a gentle table thump. Smart India Hackathon teams and IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS students prototyping a stability demo can jump‑start here.
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 gives step-by-step guidance for wiring and code. If you still need help, you can message us on WhatsApp and a real‑world maker will jump in.
Can this kit detect real earthquakes?
The MPU6050 picks up small vibrations and orientation changes perfectly. To sense distant seismic waves you’d need a more sensitive instrument, but this build demonstrates exactly how a seismometer works and logs movement data in real time.
Do I need soldering?
No soldering required — all connections plug directly into the included 400‑point breadboard with the jumper wires provided.
Can the servo stabilize a phone camera?
The SG90 can hold a lightweight platform. With careful balancing, you can mount a small action camera and the stabilizer will actively correct tilting, giving you a hands‑on feel for how camera gimbals operate.
Seismology — MPU6050 detects rotation. Servo compensates to keep a camera platform stable despite body rotation.
