Gravity Accelerometer Demo Kit with Arduino Uno + MPU6050
Arduino MPU6050 Gravity Accelerometer Kit — Watch Invisible Forces Become Real-Time Numbers
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Ever wondered how your phone knows which way is up? The Gravity Accelerometer Demo Kit with Arduino Uno + MPU6050 puts that exact same sensor technology on your desk. In under three hours, you’ll build a live g-force meter that reacts to every shake, tilt, and freefall — displaying real-time acceleration values on a crisp OLED screen. It’s the classic physics experiment made tangible, without hunting for separate parts or decoding scattered tutorials.
What You'll Build
A handheld accelerometer that reads 1.0g when the breadboard sits flat on a table, drops to near 0.0g when you toss it (catch it safely!), and spikes above 2g during a quick shake. The 0.96-inch OLED updates continuously so you can see exactly how motion changes gravitational acceleration. Use it for CBSE Class 11 physics practicals, ATL tinkering sessions, or just to satisfy your curiosity about the force you feel every day.
What You'll Learn
- How a MEMS accelerometer (MPU6050) measures linear acceleration along three axes
- I2C communication between Arduino Uno, sensor, and OLED — real embedded protocols, no simulators
- Converting raw sensor data into practical g-values (1g = 9.8 m/s²) and displaying them live
- Building a simple freefall detector and understanding inertial frames of reference

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for curious minds aged 5–15 and the educators who guide them. If you’re in a CBSE Class 11–12 physics class, this is your go-to demonstration for acceleration due to gravity. ATL Tinkering Lab mentors will love the immediate, visual feedback it adds to sensor workshops. And if you’re a B.Tech first-year in ECE or EEE, you’ll appreciate the real I2C wiring and calibration exercise — no virtual labs required.
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 open your AI companion, trained on every wire and code line of this kit. You’ll get instant step‑by‑step help, and if you prefer a human, just ping us on WhatsApp — we reply fast.
Can I see gravity values on the OLED while the sensor is in freefall?
Yes! The MPU6050 updates rapidly enough to show the drop to near 0g mid-air. Make sure you catch the breadboard safely — we recommend short tosses over a soft surface.
Do I need soldering or extra tools?
Not at all. The breadboard and male-to-male jumper wires let you plug everything together like building blocks. The battery snap powers your Arduino Uno so you can even take the demo outdoors.
What’s the range of g-values I can measure?
The MPU6050’s accelerometer can be configured up to ±16g. With the included code, you’ll see values from 0g (freefall) through 1g (rest) to spikes above 10g during heavy shakes — perfect for exploring extreme physics.
MPU6050 shows 1g stationary, 0g in freefall, 2g when shaken. OLED shows live g values.
