Orbital Mechanics Visualiser on OLED Kit: Simulate Satellite Orbits with Arduino

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Step into the shoes of an aerospace engineer and bring the graceful dance of a satellite around Earth to life on a tiny OLED screen. This kit transforms an Arduino Uno into an orbital simulator, using the parametric Kepler equation to step through an elliptical orbit in real time. Perfect for students fascinated by space, rocketry, and the math that guides spacecraft.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a compact, standalone device that computes and displays the path of a satellite in an elliptical orbit. Three tactile buttons let you adjust orbital parameters like eccentricity and semi-major axis, watching how the orbit stretches and shifts on the OLED. The crisp white dots and lines trace out the exact ellipse from the Kepler equation—a genuine physics simulation, not just a canned animation.

What You'll Learn

• Implement Kepler's parametric equation in Arduino C++ for real-time orbital stepping
• Interface a 0.96‑inch OLED display via I²C and render dynamic graphics
• Use tactile buttons with debouncing to adjust simulation parameters interactively
• Debug and calibrate a physical computing project that bridges math, physics, and electronics

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Ideal for CBSE Class 11–12 students exploring orbital mechanics in physics, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergrads building a mini project for semester reviews, and ATL Tinkering Lab innovators preparing for Smart India Hackathon themes like space technology. If you're an IIT/NIT/VIT aspirant looking to stand out with a working simulation, this kit gives you both hardware and the physics code to dissect and modify.

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.
