Microbial Fuel Cell Power Monitor Kit with Arduino Uno + LED
Microbial Fuel Cell Power Monitor Kit with Arduino Uno — Log Voltage, Current & Power from Organic Waste
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Harness the power of organic waste by building a precision monitoring system that tracks real‑time voltage, current, and power output from your microbial fuel cell. This kit lets you log sensor data to a microSD card with timestamps, view readings on an OLED display, and analyse energy generation — perfect for college projects, research, or renewable energy exploration.
What You'll Build
A complete, self‑contained monitoring station for a microbial fuel cell. The Arduino Uno reads voltage via the ADS1115 16‑bit ADC and current via the ACS712 hall‑effect sensor, while the DS3231 RTC stamps each reading. Data is saved to a microSD card and displayed on a crisp 0.96‑inch OLED — giving you a portable, real‑time power audit system.
What You'll Learn
- Precision analog‑to‑digital conversion with the ADS1115 ADC
- Current sensing and power calculation using the ACS712
- Time‑stamped data logging with the DS3231 RTC and microSD module
- OLED display integration for real‑time feedback

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is designed for engineering students (B.Tech ECE/EEE) working on renewable energy projects, Smart India Hackathon teams exploring bio‑energy, and researchers at IITs, NITs, VIT, or BITS Pilani who need a reliable data‑acquisition setup for microbial fuel cells. It’s also ideal for polytechnic instructors demonstrating energy harvesting in lab sessions.
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?
Our AI companion, accessible via QR code, can walk you through wiring, code debugging, and sensor calibration. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for personal assistance.
Do I need to provide the microbial fuel cell itself?
Yes, this kit does not include the fuel cell — you will build or source your own MFC using organic waste as per your project requirements.
Can I log data for multiple days?
Absolutely. The DS3231 RTC maintains accurate time even when the Arduino is off, and the microSD module can store months of logged data.
Is soldering experience required?
Yes, this kit requires soldering the PCB prototype board and connectors. A soldering iron and solder wire are included, and our AI companion provides guidance on proper technique.
ADS1115 measures voltage and ACS712 measures current from a microbial fuel cell fed on organic waste.
