Motor Stall Detection System Kit with Arduino Uno + Motor
Motor Stall Detection & Auto-Reversal System Kit with Arduino Uno
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
What if your robot had a built-in reflex to back off and retry when it gets stuck? With this kit, you go beyond simple on/off motor control to build a system that reads real-time current, instantly detects a jam, and commands a timed reversal – just like industrial stall protection circuits. You’ll wire a current sensor, program threshold logic, and watch it all on a crisp OLED display.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a self-monitoring motor driver that continuously reads motor current through an ACS712 Hall-effect sensor, shows live mA values on a 0.96-inch OLED, and automatically reverses the motor for a set duration whenever current spikes above your programmed stall threshold. The result is a tangible, working model of an automated jam-recovery system used in elevators, conveyors, and CNC machines.
What You'll Learn
- Analog current measurement with the ACS712 and how to filter noise from readings
- Setting interrupt-driven threshold detection in Arduino code to catch stall events in real time
- PWM motor control and direction management using the L298N driver
- Integrating an I2C OLED to display live current data and stall alerts

Who This Kit Is For
Students tackling CBSE Class 12 physics or computer science practicals will find this kit aligns neatly with sensor-integration projects. B.Tech ECE and EEE undergraduates can use it as a mini project demonstrating industrial automation concepts. ATL Tinkering Labs, Smart India Hackathon teams, and hobbyists preparing for VIT/NIT hackathons will appreciate the real-world current-monitoring logic built with components that mirror professional designs.
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 inside the box to start a conversation with the AI companion trained on this exact kit. If you need a human touch, WhatsApp support is one message away.
Can I change the stall detection threshold?
Absolutely. The code is fully open, and you can adjust the current threshold value or tune the averaging logic right in the Arduino sketch to match different loads.
Does this work with motors other than the one included?
Yes, as long as the motor's stall current is within the ACS712 5A range. The sensor and driver are rated to handle typical 12V DC motors up to 2 amperes continuous safely.
Can I log the current data for analysis?
The OLED shows live readings, but the serial monitor outputs them too. You can easily extend the code to log data to an SD card or send it to a PC for later analysis.
ACS712 monitors motor current. Spike above threshold detects stall. Motor reverses and retries automatically.
