Earthquake Vibration Logger Pro Kit with Arduino Uno + MPU6050
Earthquake Vibration Logger Pro Kit — Real Seismology 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.
Earthquakes fascinate young minds, but building a device that actually senses and records tremors takes that curiosity to the next level. This kit lets you assemble a working vibration logger using a precision load cell to measure force and an MPU6050 accelerometer to capture motion—then you’ll verify Newton’s F = ma by plugging live sensor readings into the equation. It’s a hands-on physics lab, an Arduino project, and a real-world seismology simulation all in one.
What You'll Build
You’ll wire up a complete sensor array on a breadboard, load the Arduino with data-logging code, and mount the load cell so that any shake or tap produces a measurable force. The MPU6050 simultaneously tracks acceleration along three axes, and both values stream to the 16x2 LCD. By comparing force from the load cell against mass × acceleration from the MPU6050, you’ll confirm F = ma with your own data—just like a seismologist analyzing ground motion.
What You'll Learn
- Interface an HX711 load cell with Arduino and calibrate it for force measurements
- Read 3‑axis acceleration from the MPU6050 over I2C and translate raw values into m/s²
- Log and display real‑time data on a 16x2 LCD using an I2C backpack
- Experimentally verify Newton’s second law by plotting force versus mass × acceleration

Who This Kit Is For
Students aged 10–15 who love tinkering and physics will find this kit captivating, especially when they see F=ma come alive on screen. It’s ideal for CBSE Class 7–12 science projects, ATL Tinkering Lab sessions, and early engineering experiments at school level. Even first‑year B.Tech ECE/EEE students can use it as a foundational sensor‑integration assignment.
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 QR code inside the box opens an AI companion that can answer your questions instantly. If you prefer, you can also send a photo on WhatsApp and get a reply within a few hours.
Can this kit detect a real earthquake?
It simulates seismology perfectly—tap the load cell and watch the acceleration spike on the LCD. For actual detection you’d need a calibrated mass and quiet environment, but the principle you’ll learn is identical to a seismometer’s.
Do I need to solder anything?
Not at all. Every connection goes into the 400‑point breadboard, so it’s solder‑free and reusable for your next project.
What software do I need?
Just the free Arduino IDE. The AI companion will guide you through installing the required libraries for the HX711, MPU6050, and LCD. No prior coding experience is necessary.
Seismology — Load cell measures force. MPU6050 measures acceleration. Verify F = ma experimentally.
