Build an Industrial Bin Level Radar with Arduino Uno & HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Kit

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 an Arduino Uno into a working ultrasonic level monitor that scans a bin and plots a real-time radar map on a crisp OLED screen. This kit recreates the same sweeping, distance-arc displays used in industrial silos and tank farms—right on your workbench. Within a single afternoon, you will have a functional inventory gauge that shows how full a container is using blips and range rings.

What You'll Build

A servo-mounted HC-SR04 transducer pans 180 degrees, taking distance readings at every step. The 0.96‑inch OLED then draws a polar plot with concentric range arcs and illuminated blips wherever an object (or the bin wall) is detected. You can place a small box in front of the sensor and watch the radar fill in real time—just like a factory panel monitoring silo levels.

What You'll Learn

• Program an Arduino to control a servo sweep and collect ultrasonic sensor readings in sync
• Render live radar-style graphics on an OLED display using distance-to-pixel coordinate conversion
• Calibrate distance thresholds to represent bin‑level percentages and trigger alerts
• Integrate a moving mechanical assembly with real‑time electronic sensing for a complete mechatronics system

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This intermediate-level kit fits CBSE Class 11‑12 students who want to connect physics and programming, as well as B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates prototyping for Smart India Hackathon or minor projects. ATL Tinkering Lab mentors will appreciate its readiness for demonstrating sensor‑actuator integration, and IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS teams can use it as a reliable starting point for industrial IoT demos.

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.
