Motor Temperature Guard Kit with Arduino Uno + Motor
Motor Temperature Guard Kit — Build a Smart Overheat Protector 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.
Motors run hot when pushed hard, and overheating is the silent killer of DC motors in robotics, DIY CNC machines, and school science projects. This kit lets you build a complete temperature guard that monitors a motor with a DS18B20 probe, displays live temperature on an LCD, and automatically reduces motor speed when things get too hot — protecting your motor from burnout before it’s too late.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a fully functional circuit that reads temperature from the motor housing in real time. When the temperature crosses 60°C, the system triggers a warning on the LCD and lowers the motor’s PWM duty cycle to reduce heat generation. The motor comes back to full speed only after cooling down. This is exactly the logic used in industrial motor protection — now in your hands on a breadboard.
What You'll Learn
- Interface a DS18B20 digital temperature sensor with Arduino Uno
- Control a DC motor’s speed using PWM and an L298N motor driver
- Read sensor data and display real-time temperature on a 16x2 LCD with I2C
- Implement conditional logic to create an automated motor protection system

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for CBSE Class 11-12 students exploring microcontroller-based projects, first-year B.Tech ECE/EEE mini-projects, and ATL Tinkering Lab activities. Young makers aged 5-15 will find the plug-and-play breadboard setup intuitive under adult guidance. It’s also a strong entry for Smart India Hackathon junior challenges and hobbyists who want a relatable, hands-on automation project.
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?
The AI companion will guide you step-by-step via the included QR code. If you need a human touch, our Bengaluru team is available on WhatsApp and email — you’ll never be stranded.
Can this kit be used for a school science exhibition?
Absolutely. It demonstrates real-time sensor integration, automated decision-making, and motor control — all core concepts for a winning STEM exhibit.
Is this suitable for a complete beginner with no Arduino experience?
Yes. The circuit is fully breadboard-based, and the AI companion walks you through every connection and line of code. You’ll have a working guard even if you’ve never touched an Arduino before.
What safety precautions should children follow?
All connections are low-voltage except the 12V adapter. Adult supervision is recommended when plugging in the motor supply. The kit uses a diode and resistor protection, and all components are safe to handle.
DS18B20 on motor housing alerts when overheating. Reduces PWM at 60C to protect motor from damage.
