Inclinometer Bubble Level TFT Kit with Arduino Uno + MPU6050
Arduino Digital Bubble Level Kit — TFT Display & MPU6050 Sensor
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn a simple Arduino Uno into a responsive digital inclinometer that mimics a physical spirit level. As you tilt the board, a bubble drawn on the 1.8-inch TFT screen moves in real time, driven by data from the MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope. This kit transforms abstract sensor readings into an intuitive, interactive display—perfect for young electronics enthusiasts who want to learn about motion tracking and graphical user interfaces.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a digital bubble level on a breadboard that responds instantly to movement. The Arduino reads tilt angles from the MPU6050 via I2C, then calculates the bubble’s position and draws a filled circle on the ST7735 TFT screen. The result: a smooth, animated level that you can use to check surfaces or simply show off. Every component is included, so you can go from opening the box to seeing the bubble dance in a single afternoon.
What You'll Learn
- Reading accelerometer and gyroscope data from an MPU6050 over I2C.
- Drawing shapes, colours, and text on a 1.8-inch TFT display using the ST7735 library.
- Programming an Arduino to map raw sensor values to pixel coordinates.
- Calibrating motion sensors and handling real-time visual updates.

Who This Kit Is For
Young makers and students aged 5–15 who want a hands‑on introduction to sensors and displays. Ideal for CBSE Class 11–12 physics projects exploring motion, ATL Tinkering Lab modules that teach data visualization, and B.Tech ECE/EEE first‑year students prototyping with Arduino. Hobbyists who enjoy building smart measurement tools will also love the immediate visual feedback.
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 your AI build companion — it’s trained on this exact kit and can guide you through every step. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for quick help.
Do I need any prior programming or electronics experience?
No, this kit is designed for absolute beginners. The AI companion will guide you step by step, from wiring to coding, so you can learn as you build.
Can I use this digital spirit level for actual measurements?
While it's not a precision instrument, the bubble level shows accurate tilt trends and can be a fun tool for checking level surfaces at home or in a workshop.
What if the TFT screen doesn’t light up?
Check your wiring against the diagram, ensure the code is uploaded correctly, and then ask your AI companion for troubleshooting tips. Often it’s a loose connection that’s easy to fix.
