Fitness Step Counter Kit with Raspberry Pi Zero + MPU6050
Fitness Step Counter Kit — Wearable Health Tracker with Raspberry Pi Zero W, MPU6050 & MAX30102
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 a Raspberry Pi Zero W into a wrist-worn fitness tracker that logs your steps and blood oxygen every 5 minutes. This advanced project kit includes the MAX30102 pulse oximeter and MPU6050 accelerometer, pre-tested for seamless data capture. Track your health metrics offline with onboard SD card storage.
What You'll Build
A lightweight wearable device that counts steps, monitors SpO2, and stores logs to a MicroSD card without an internet connection. The 0.96-inch OLED displays real-time step count and heart rate readings, while the TP4056 charging module keeps the 1000mAh LiPo battery topped up via USB. Strap it to your wrist with the included velcro strap for all-day tracking.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing I2C sensors (MPU6050 and MAX30102) with Raspberry Pi Zero W
- Logging sensor data to CSV files on an SD card using Python
- Designing a portable battery-powered wearable circuit with LiPo and TP4056 charger
- Writing interrupt-driven step counting algorithms using accelerometer data

Does this kit require soldering?
Yes, the 40-pin GPIO header must be soldered to the Pi Zero W, and sensor connections are soldered. A soldering iron and solder wire are included.
Can I view the data on my phone?
The OLED shows real-time steps and SpO2. Logged CSV files on the MicroSD card can be transferred to a computer or phone via a card reader for analysis.
Is the battery rechargeable?
Yes, the included 3.7V 1000mAh LiPo is recharged via the TP4056 module with any micro USB cable.
Fitness — Pi Zero W reads MAX30102 SpO2 and MPU6050 activity every 5 minutes to SD card as a wearable health tracker.
