High-G Shock Recorder Variant 23 Kit with Arduino Nano + LED
High-G Shock Recorder Variant 23 Kit with Arduino Nano + LED: Capture Rocket Motor Ignition Shock Events with Precision
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
When a solid rocket motor ignites, the initial shock can exceed 100g in milliseconds. This kit lets you capture that transient event with a 200g-range accelerometer, log it to an SD card with a precise timestamp, and view peak values on an OLED display. Ideal for TARC-style rocketry, Smart India Hackathon challenges, or university satellite launch vehicle projects.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a standalone high-g shock recorder that continuously samples acceleration at 1kHz, detects shock events above a threshold, and writes time-stamped data to a microSD card. The 0.96-inch OLED instantly shows peak g-force and recording status, so you can verify data without a laptop in the field.
What You'll Learn
- High-g accelerometer interface with Arduino Nano (analog sampling at 1kHz)
- Real-time clock (DS3231) integration for accurate event timestamps
- SD card logging with efficient CSV data storage
- Soldering and prototyping on PCB for a field-ready device

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is designed for engineering students (B.Tech ECE/EEE/Mechanical) working on rocket telemetry projects, TARC competitors, or Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping launch vehicle instrumentation. It’s also suitable for ATL Tinkering Lab demonstrators who need a reliable shock data capture module for rocketry workshops. If you've built basic Arduino projects and are ready to tackle high-speed data acquisition, this kit bridges the gap between hobbyist and professional-grade rocketry electronics.
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 access your AI build companion, which can guide you through every step with videos and code snippets. You can also message us on WhatsApp for live support from our team.
Can this recorder handle multiple motor ignitions in a single flight?
Yes, the firmware can be configured to log multiple events sequentially as long as the SD card has space; the threshold detection will capture each shock above the set g-level.
Does it include the SD card?
No, the kit includes the SD card module, but a microSD card (up to 32GB) is not included; you can use any standard card formatted as FAT32.
Is this kit suitable for a beginner in rocketry?
This is an advanced project requiring soldering and Arduino programming experience. We recommend completing a few intermediate kits first. However, the AI companion provides detailed instructions if you’re willing to learn.
