Build a Wearable Posture Trainer with Arduino Nano & MPU6050 – Haptic Slouch Alert Kit

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

Slouching over books or screens for hours? This kit lets you build a wearable device that gently vibrates when your spine curves beyond a healthy angle, training you to sit straighter without constant reminders. Ideal for students, coders, and anyone spending long seated hours, the Posture Alert Wearable combines an MPU6050 accelerometer-gyroscope, an Arduino Nano, and a coin vibration motor into a compact, wearable form factor. In just 3-4 hours, you’ll have a personal posture coach that runs off a 9V battery, secured with the included Velcro strip.

What You'll Build

A lightweight, velcro-attached module worn on the upper back. It continuously monitors tilt angle using the MPU6050. When you slouch past a preset threshold for more than a few seconds, the vibration motor buzzes gently, reminding you to adjust your posture. The kit builds the circuit on a breadboard for easy iteration, and you can later transfer it to a PCB or sew it into a fabric strap.

What You'll Learn

• Reading real-time accelerometer and gyroscope data from the MPU6050 with Arduino Nano.
• Calculating pitch and roll angles from sensor data to detect slouching.
• Driving a vibration motor using a BC547 transistor as a switch.
• Implementing a threshold-based alert with debounce logic to avoid false triggers.
