Vehicle Crash Detector Kit with Arduino Mega + Sensor
Vehicle Crash Detector Kit – Hand Gesture Safety Glove
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
More than half of all two‑wheeler accidents happen because one rider couldn’t guess what the other was about to do. This kit lets you build a glove that reads every finger bend and wrist tilt in real time, turning them into visual turn and stop signals on a TFT display — a wearable translator for hand gestures that can help prevent crashes before they happen.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a complete hand‑pose capture system on a glove. Five flex sensors track the angle of each finger individually, while an MPU6050 6‑axis motion sensor picks up wrist roll, pitch and yaw. The Arduino Mega fuses all that data and paints live finger‑angle bar graphs and directional arrows on the 1.8‑inch ST7735 TFT. By the end, you’ll have a glove that shows clear “left turn”, “right turn” and “stop” indicators, ready to be wired to external LEDs for real road use.
What You'll Learn
- Reading analog flex‑sensor signals with Arduino ADC and implementing calibration routines
- Interfacing the MPU6050 over I²C and extracting roll, pitch and yaw via a complementary filter
- Driving an SPI colour TFT display with the ST7735 library to render dynamic visuals
- Designing a gesture‑mapping state machine that translates raw sensor data into clean, debounced hand‑signal events

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech ECE and EEE students crafting a final‑year automotive safety project, Smart India Hackathon teams needing a working wearable prototype in under a day, and ATL Tinkering Lab mentors who want to move beyond breadboard blinky projects into real‑time sensor fusion. If you’ve already worked with Arduino and are ready for soldering, gesture algorithms and TFT graphics, this kit is built for you.
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 trained on this project. It can walk you through wiring, debug sensor readings, or suggest code edits. If you need a human, reply on WhatsApp and a Compoden engineer will jump in.
Can this glove be adapted for gesture-controlled robotics instead of vehicle signals?
Yes, the flex‑sensor and MPU6050 data can be remapped to control a robotic arm, drone flight modes, or a VR hand model. The open‑source firmware gives you a clean data‑pipeline to route anywhere you like.
Do I need prior soldering experience?
The kit includes a soldering iron and solder wire, and the build guide includes detailed soldering steps for connecting flex‑sensor leads and headers. Some basic soldering helps, but the instructions are designed for a first‑time kit builder.
Is this glove road‑ready for actual two‑wheeler use?
The glove is a learning platform. For real‑world use you would need to harden it against rain and vibration and wire the TFT output to high‑brightness turn‑indicator LEDs. The core gesture‑detection engine, however, works reliably enough to serve as the foundation for such a system.
Automotive Safety — Five flex sensors + MPU6050 capture full hand pose in real time. TFT visualises finger angles and wrist tilt.
