Safe Tilt Alarm Kit with Arduino Uno + MPU6050
Build a Tilt-Activated Safe Alarm with Arduino Uno & MPU6050
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Have you ever wanted to protect your secret stash from nosy siblings? This kit lets you build a real alarm system that screams if anyone moves your safe or cash box. Using the MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope, you'll calibrate a tilt threshold and trigger a buzzing alert and flashing LEDs instantly. It's a hands-on way to learn electronics while securing your valuables.
What You'll Build
A functional tilt alarm that monitors orientation of a safe, jewelry box, or any valuable container. Once you set a baseline position, any tilt beyond a threshold activates a loud buzzer and two red LEDs. You can customize sensitivity and reset conditions to match your own security needs.
What You'll Learn
- How accelerometers measure tilt angles with the MPU6050 sensor
- Interfacing I2C devices (MPU6050) with an Arduino Uno
- Programming conditional alerts: if tilt > threshold, trigger buzzer and LEDs
- Assembling a complete circuit on a breadboard with resistors, LEDs, and a buzzer

Who This Kit Is For
Perfect for young makers aged 5-15 who enjoy tinkering and want to learn security electronics. Ideal for ATL Tinkering Labs, CBSE Class 11-12 electronics projects, or a weekend build for curious kids. B.Tech ECE/EEE students can use it as a foundation for more advanced IoT alarms.
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?
Our AI build companion, trained on this exact kit, is available via QR code or WhatsApp. It provides step-by-step guidance and troubleshooting so you're never alone.
What if the alarm triggers too easily?
You can adjust the tilt threshold in the Arduino code. The companion shows you exactly which line to modify and lets you set a wider angle before the alarm goes off.
Can I use this for other containers, not just a safe?
Absolutely. Mount the breadboard to any box, door, or even a drawer. As long as you calibrate the resting position with the sensor, it works anywhere.
Is this kit suitable for a 7-year-old?
Yes, with adult assistance for the battery connection. The breadboard wiring is colour-coded, and the AI companion simplifies every step for young creators.
MPU6050 triggers alarm if tilt angle changes from parked position — detects safe being moved.
