Mendelian Genetics Simulator Kit with Arduino Uno + LED
Mendelian Genetics Simulator Kit – Arduino Uno & LCD for Heredity Experiments
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 Gregor Mendel discovered the laws of inheritance by counting pea plants? With this kit, you’ll build a working electronic simulator that runs random crosses between pea plants with different traits and displays the resulting phenotype ratios on a bright 16×2 LCD—just like Mendel, but in minutes instead of years.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble an Arduino Uno-powered device with three buttons to trigger crosses for specific traits (seed color, plant height, flower position). The LCD instantly shows counts of dominant and recessive phenotypes across 100 offspring, letting you observe the 3:1 ratio emerge in real time. A perfect visual aid for biology projects and science fairs.
What You'll Learn
- Wire an LCD with I2C backpack to Arduino for data output
- Program a random generator to simulate Mendelian crosses
- Interpret phenotype ratios and relate them to Punnett squares
- Debug simple circuits using breadboard and jumper wires

Who This Kit Is For
From middle schoolers preparing for science exhibitions to high schoolers in CBSE Class 12 biology, anyone curious about how traits pass from one generation to the next will find this kit enlightening. It’s ideal for ATL Tinkering Lab members building interactive biology models, and even B.Tech first-years in ECE/EEE can use it as a fun Arduino starter project with a biology twist. Younger builders (5–9) should have adult guidance.
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 the AI companion, which knows every detail of this project. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for human help within a few hours.
Can I modify the code to simulate different traits?
Absolutely. The pre-written code includes clear comments, and the AI companion can guide you to change allele symbols, ratios, or add new traits. Perfect for exploring dihybrid crosses.
Is this kit safe for a 10-year-old?
Yes. All components operate on 5V DC from the battery snap, so there’s no risk of shock. The breadboard assembly requires no soldering
Random generator simulates Mendel pea plant crosses. LCD shows phenotype ratios over 100 offspring.
