Sport Form Coach Kit with Arduino Uno + MPU6050
Build a Self-Balancing Sports Training System with Arduino Uno & MPU6050 — Sport Form Coach 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.
Step into the world of dynamic stability with a project that mirrors how coaches use real-time feedback to perfect athletic form. You’ll assemble a tilting acrylic platform that automatically balances a ball at its center — no manual tweaking required. By wiring an MPU6050 gyroscope, tuning a PID algorithm, and commanding an MG996R servo, you create a fully autonomous balancing trainer that brings control theory to life.
What You'll Build
A functional ball-on-platform balance system that demonstrates closed-loop control. The MPU6050 measures tilt, the Arduino Uno calculates corrective servo angles, and the servo instantly counteracts imbalance, holding a rolling ball dead center. It’s a tangible demo of real-time sensor-actuator harmony — perfect for science exhibitions, engineering mini-projects, or deepening your understanding of feedback loops.
What You'll Learn
- Wire the MPU6050 6-axis sensor to Arduino Uno and extract accurate roll/pitch data
- Implement a PID controller in code to calculate servo position from tilt error
- Calibrate sensor offsets and tune P, I, D gain values for rapid, stable ball positioning
- Solder components onto a PCB prototype board and assemble the mechanical acrylic platform

Who This Kit Is For
Ideal for CBSE Class 11–12 students crafting microcontroller-based physics projects, and B.Tech ECE/EEE students preparing Smart India Hackathon prototypes or semester mini-projects. ATL Tinkering Labs will find it a robust intermediate challenge that shows control engineering in action. If you’ve mastered blinking LEDs and want to conquer real-time feedback systems, this is your next leap.
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 for the AI companion; it walks you through wiring, code upload, and PID tuning. For tricky moments, our WhatsApp support responds within hours.
Do I need prior experience with PID control?
None at all. The AI companion explains each term (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) and provides a baseline code that you gradually tweak to see their effect.
Can this kit be used for a CBSE science exhibition?
Absolutely. It demonstrates sensor integration, actuator control, and feedback loops — all relevant to physics and computer science themes, with a visually compelling ball-balancing demo.
Is the power supply safe for a 15-year-old builder?
Yes, the included 5V 2A adapter is BIS-certified and the circuit operates at safe low voltage. Soldering requires basic supervision, but all components are low-temperature friendly.
Sports — MPU6050 on a single-axis tilting platform uses PID to balance a ball in the centre using a servo.
