Hydration Level Urine Colour Estimator Variant 24 Kit with Arduino Nano
Hydration Level Urine Colour Estimator Kit with Arduino Nano: Build Your Personal Health Monitor
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Whether you're a health tech enthusiast validating a non‑invasive diagnostic concept for Smart India Hackathon, or a B.Tech ECE student exploring wearable biosensors, this kit lets you build a real‑working urine colour hydration estimator. The TCS3200 sensor scans a urine strip and the Arduino Nano maps the colour to a hydration level, displaying a personalised water intake recommendation on a crisp 0.96‑inch OLED.
What You'll Build
You’ll create a battery‑powered, portable device that categorises hydration from a urine test strip into actionable levels – well‑hydrated, mildly dehydrated, or dehydrated. The OLED shows both the colour analysis and a water intake suggestion, turning a simple strip into an instant health check.
What You'll Learn
- Interface the TCS3200 colour sensor with Arduino Nano and calibrate RGB frequency outputs for medical‑grade colour accuracy.
- Design a colour‑to‑hydration mapping algorithm based on standard 8‑shade urine colour charts.
- Program the 0.96‑inch OLED to display real‑time hydration status and millilitre‑based water intake advice.
- Solder components on a PCB prototype board for a rugged, portable build, managing power from a 9V battery snap with stable sensor readings.

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is tailored for B.Tech ECE/EEE students building health‑tech capstone projects, biomedical engineering enthusiasts prototyping non‑invasive diagnostics, and Smart India Hackathon teams developing wearable hydration monitors. It also suits ATL Tinkering Lab mentors guiding senior students at institutions like IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS, as well as health‑conscious makers exploring self‑quantification.
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?
The QR code on the box launches your kit’s AI companion with step‑by‑step debugging. If you need human help, our team is available on WhatsApp, referencing the exact project you’re building.
Do I need to buy urine test strips separately?
Yes, consumable strips are not included to guarantee freshness. Standard urine reagent strips are available at any pharmacy; the sensor works with the colour square on the strip.
Can I adjust hydration thresholds to match medical standards?
The open‑source Arduino sketch includes clearly commented RGB mapping functions. You can fine‑tune the colour ranges using official urine colour charts, such as the Armstrong scale, to meet clinical accuracy goals.
Is soldering experience required?
Yes. The kit includes a soldering iron and solder wire, and the AI companion guides every joint. If it’s your first soldering project, budget an extra hour to practice on the prototype board.
TCS3200 colour sensor reads urine strip colour and estimates hydration level. Recommends water intake.
