Gesture Recognition Wand Pro Kit: Build a Tilt-Activated Security Alarm with Arduino Uno & 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.

Imagine building a device that silently guards your valuables. This kit lets you create a motion-sensitive alarm that triggers the instant a safe, locker, or drawer is tilted — replicating exactly how real-world security sensors protect restricted assets. You'll combine an Arduino Uno with an MPU6050 accelerometer-gyroscope module to monitor angular changes, then respond with a buzzer and LED alert when movement is detected.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a compact, battery-powered tilt detector. After calibrating the MPU6050 to read the "parked" angle of a surface, the system continuously scans for deviation. The moment something shifts — a box being slid, a door being opened, a safe being tampered with — the active buzzer howls and two red LEDs flash, delivering immediate, unmistakable warning. It's a tabletop prototype of intrusion detection hardware used in surveillance and asset tracking.

What You'll Learn

• Calibrating the MPU6050 sensor and reading XYZ accelerometer values with Arduino
• Calculating tilt angle from raw sensor data using simple trigonometry
• Implementing a threshold-based algorithm to detect angle changes and trigger outputs
• Wiring active buzzers, LEDs, and resistors to digital pins for real-world alert feedback
• Prototyping a complete security circuit on a solderless breadboard
