Gait Analysis Insole Kit with Arduino Nano + LED
Gait Analysis Insole Kit with Arduino Nano + LED
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Step across the room and your insole unfolds the hidden story of your stride. This kit turns three force-sensitive resistors into a wearable sensing strip that reveals how pressure shifts from heel to toe, and whether your left and right gait patterns are symmetrical. It’s a tangible tool for biomechanics projects, sports performance studies, or clinical curiosity.
What You'll Build
You’ll embed three FSR 402 sensors inside a shoe sole and connect them to an Arduino Nano that tucks into a belt clip. A 0.96-inch OLED display shows real-time pressure levels for heel, midfoot, and toe. An asymmetry index warns if one foot bears much more load than the other. Timestamped logs from the DS3231 RTC save automatically onto a microSD card so you can analyze gait offline.
What You'll Learn
- How to interface analog FSR sensors with Arduino and calibrate them for weight estimation
- Real-time sensor reading and dynamic pressure visualization on an OLED screen
- Using a real-time clock (DS3231) to timestamp gait data logs onto a microSD card
- Analysing gait asymmetry by comparing left and right insole pressure patterns

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students building sensor-based health projects, B.Tech ECE or Biomedical undergraduates prototyping for Smart India Hackathon, and ATL tinkering labs seeking a reliable pressure-mapping system. It bridges classroom theory and practical wearables, and fits well into IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS project submissions.
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 companion trained on this kit. It walks you through each connection and code line, with WhatsApp backup if you prefer human help.
Can I use this kit without an insole frame?
Yes, you can embed the FSR sensors inside any shoe sole or a DIY insole cut from foam. The breadboard lets you prototype everything before final placement.
Does this measure absolute weight or just pressure distribution?
The sensors output relative pressure. With calibration using known weights, you can approximate load in kilograms, but the primary output is pressure pattern and asymmetry index.
Can I log data from both feet simultaneously?
This kit contains sensors for one foot. To compare left and right gait, you would need two kits. The microSD logging with timestamps allows offline comparison.
Three FSR sensors in insole positions measure pressure distribution during walking. OLED shows gait asymmetry.
