Servo Recorder and Playback Kit with Arduino Uno + Servo
Record and Play Back Servo Movements with Your Arduino Uno – A Gesture-Learning Robot Arm Base
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
You move a servo by hand, and the system memorises every angle, then replays the path on three servos simultaneously. Think of a camera dolly that learns a panning shot, or a simple animatronic figure that mimics your gestures. This kit gives you the hardware and code to build a teachable motion controller from the ground up.
What You'll Build
A compact motion recorder with a master servo that you turn manually. Its movement is captured by a precision AS5600 encoder, stored as angle arrays in Arduino’s EEPROM, and then faithfully reproduced by three MG90S servos on command. An OLED display shows recording status, frame count, and playback progress. Three tactile buttons let you record, stop, and cycle through recorded sequences.
What You'll Learn
- Reading absolute angular position from an AS5600 magnetic encoder over I2C
- Storing and retrieving large arrays of servo data in Arduino Uno EEPROM
- Synchronising multiple MG90S servos for smooth, jitter-free playback
- Interfacing an OLED display and tactile buttons to create a standalone user interface

Who This Kit Is For
Crafted for CBSE Class 11-12 students creating a working model for physics or computer science practicals, B.Tech ECE/EEE first- and second-year students needing a servo-based mini project, ATL Tinkering Lab aspirants exploring motion recording, and participants of Smart India Hackathon prototyping teachable robot arms. Anyone with basic Arduino familiarity who wants to move from blinking LEDs to motion control will find this kit challenging yet doable.
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 inside your box to launch the AI companion trained on this servo recorder kit. It can debug your circuit and code in real time. You also have direct WhatsApp and email access to our Bengaluru support team.
Can I record movements for all three servos independently?
Yes. The AS5600 encoder captures the master servo’s angle. By pressing the record button, you store that angle for all three playback servos in one frame, or you can toggle to record separate sequences for each servo using the button menu shown on the OLED.
How many recording frames can the EEPROM hold?
The EEPROM can store thousands of samples. With the included code you can record up to 500 frames (each a set of three servo angles), giving around 50 seconds of motion at 10 frames per second. You can increase that by compressing data or using an SD card module, which the AI companion can guide you through.
Is this kit suitable for building a camera slider or animatronic?
Absolutely. The playback mechanism can drive a pan-tilt head, a small camera dolly, or a simple animatronic puppet. The recorded gesture becomes a repeatable movement that you can fine-tune, making it an excellent base for filmmaking, robotics art, or automated display projects.
Record servo movements by manually moving arm. Arduino stores positions in EEPROM and plays them back.
