Sport Form Coach Kit v4
Sport Form Coach Kit v4: Build Your Own Gesture-Controlled Robot with ESP32
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a coach that mirrors your every wrist tilt — instantly tells if your cricket backlift is straight or your tennis forehand follow-through is off. The Sport Form Coach Kit v4 lets you build a wearable MPU6050 sensor band and a 2WD robot that responds to your gestures over WiFi, turning body language into machine motion. It’s a practical introduction to biomechanics tracking, IoT, and real-time motor control, all on the ESP32 platform.
What You'll Build
You strap a compact MPU6050 module to your wrist, which streams tilt and acceleration data to one ESP32. That ESP32 translates your hand gestures — forward palm, backward lean, left tilt, right tilt — into movement commands sent via WiFi to a second ESP32 onboard a 2WD robot chassis. The robot then moves forward, backward, turns left or right in lockstep with your motions. The entire system runs on two rechargeable 18650 cells, making it portable and self-contained for sports demonstrations.
What You'll Learn
- Calibrate and read raw MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope values for orientation detection
- Implement ESP32-to-ESP32 WiFi UDP data streaming with low latency
- Drive DC motors through an L298N H-bridge using pulse width modulation signals
- Map thresholded gesture angles to discrete robot motion commands and tune responsiveness

Who This Kit Is For
This kit fits IoT and robotics enthusiasts aged 15 and above, especially CBSE Class 11–12 students exploring sensor-based projects, B.Tech ECE/EEE first-years wanting a quick wearable-to-robot prototype, and Smart India Hackathon participants testing gesture communication ideas. It’s also a strong hands-on module for ATL Tinkering Labs and sports biomechanics hobbyists curious about machine feedback from body movements.
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 on the box to open the AI companion, which walks you through gesture calibration, WiFi setup, and motor wiring. Or drop a WhatsApp message — we respond with specific troubleshooting steps for this kit.
Can I program new gestures beyond forward/back/left/right?
Yes. The MPU6050 outputs raw pitch and roll values. You can modify the Arduino sketch to add custom gesture thresholds for diagonal moves, stop signals, or even speed control based on tilt angle intensity.
Does the kit include everything needed to start?
It includes all electronics, chassis, motors, and wires. You will need a soldering iron for motor leads if not pre-soldered, and a laptop with Arduino IDE. 18650 cells are included but arrive partially charged; charge them before use.
How does the wearable band attach to the wrist?
The MPU6050 and ESP32 can be secured to a wrist strap (use a Velcro sports band, not included) using cable ties or elastic bands. The kit contents are meant to be integrated into a sports band setup, giving you freedom to design your own wearable rig.
Sports — MPU6050 on wrist detects tilt gestures — ESP32 maps gestures to forward, backward, left, right robot commands over WiFi.
