Floating Pond Sensor Buoy Variant 24 Kit with Arduino Uno + Sensor
Build a Floating Water Quality Monitoring Buoy with Arduino Uno
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Take your agriculture or environmental monitoring projects to the next level. This advanced kit equips you to build a floating sensor buoy that measures water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity in real time, logging every reading to a microSD card with precise timestamps. Whether you're an engineering student validating a smart farming concept or a researcher tracking pond health, this kit delivers professional-grade data collection in a rugged, waterproof package.
What You'll Build
A fully autonomous floating buoy that withstands outdoor conditions. You'll deploy it in a pond, lake, or aquaculture tank to continuously record key water quality parameters. The onboard OLED displays live readings, while the SD card stores weeks of data for later analysis—perfect for trend visualization and reporting.
What You'll Learn
- Interface multiple analog and digital sensors (DS18B20 temperature, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity) with Arduino.
- Implement real-time clock (DS3231) timestamps and SD card datalogging using the SPI protocol.
- Design a power-efficient system with LiPo battery, TP4056 charging, and low-power modes.
- Assemble and waterproof a floating enclosure to protect electronics in wet environments.

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for advanced engineering students (B.Tech ECE, EEE, Agricultural Engineering) building capstone projects or participating in the Smart India Hackathon. Equally valuable for researchers at ICAR institutes and state agricultural universities, as well as serious hobbyists prototyping precision aquaculture IoT solutions. If you've outgrown beginner Arduino kits and need a rugged, field-ready datalogging system, this is your next build.
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?
Scan the QR code on the box to chat with our AI build companion trained on this exact kit. You can also message us on WhatsApp for human support during business hours.
Can the buoy be submerged completely?
The waterproof float enclosure protects the Arduino, battery, and charging module, but the sensors are designed to be in the water. The enclosure should float, not be fully submerged. Ensure the cable glands are tight.
How do I analyze the logged data?
After the datalogging session, remove the microSD card and open the CSV file in Excel, Google Sheets, or Python for plotting. The OLED also shows live readings for quick checks.
Does this kit include a solar charging option?
Not directly, but you can connect a 5V solar panel to the TP4056 charging module’s input via USB. The LiPo battery provides around 6-8 hours of continuous logging.
