Plant Health Spectral Analysis Kit Kit with Arduino Uno
Handheld Plant Health Analyzer: NDVI and Chlorophyll Meter 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.
Move from simple sensors to quantitative plant science. This kit places a 18-band spectrometer in your hands, letting you assess leaf health through NDVI, chlorophyll index, and spectral reflectance patterns. You’ll build a battery-operated instrument that reads, logs, and visually scores plant vitality in real time—an essential tool for precision agriculture, environmental research, or advanced college projects.
What You'll Build
A portable analyzer that scans plant leaves and instantly delivers actionable metrics. The AS7265x sensor captures light from violet to near-infrared across eighteen calibrated channels; the Arduino computes vegetation indices, and the 1.8-inch color TFT presents a simple health score alongside raw band values. Every measurement is timestamped by the DS3231 RTC and saved to a microSD card, creating a field-ready data logger you can carry into a greenhouse, farm, or lab.
What You'll Learn
- Interface the AS7265x 18-channel spectral sensor via I2C and configure its integration time and gain
- Program calculations for NDVI, chlorophyll content index, and normalized difference ratios using reflectance data
- Render real-time graphs and numeric readouts on a SPI TFT display
- Build a battery-powered data logger with microSD storage and precise RTC timestamps

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech students in ECE, EEE, or agricultural engineering tackling precision farming projects, Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping agritech solutions, and researchers at institutions like ICAR or state agricultural universities seeking a reproducible spectral tool. Advanced ATL mentors guiding senior secondary students into spectroscopy will also find the kit bridges theory and field application seamlessly.
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 to chat with the project-trained AI companion, or send a photo to our WhatsApp support—our engineers will guide you step-by-step.
Can this kit be used to monitor soil or water health?
It is optimized for leaf reflectance; soil and water require different optical geometries and may need broadband light sources not included.
Do I need to solder the entire board?
Yes, the kit includes a soldering iron and prototype PCBs; you’ll solder the sensor, display, and RTC connections. The wiring plan is part of the build guide.
What programming knowledge is expected?
You should be comfortable with Arduino IDE and basic C++. The provided code calculates all indices, but customizing thresholds or display formats will require modifications.
AS7265x 18-band spectral sensor measures NDVI and chlorophyll index. TFT shows plant health score.
