Vehicle Crash Detector Kit: Build a Wrist‑Controlled 2WD Robot with Arduino Nano and 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.

Imagine a car that steers not with a steering wheel, but by simply tilting your hand. This kit puts automotive safety into your hands—literally. You’ll craft a wearable MPU6050 transmitter that reads your wrist’s tilt angles and sends them over Bluetooth to a 2‑wheel drive robot. Tilt forward to go forward, lean left to turn left, and hold flat to stop. It’s a complete exploration of how gesture‑based controls can reduce driver distraction, a building block for next‑gen vehicle safety systems.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble two Arduino Nano boards: one in a wrist‑mounted transmitter and one on a 2WD chassis. The MPU6050 accelerometer+gyro detects pitch and roll; the HC‑05 Bluetooth modules wirelessly link the pair. The L298N motor driver translates tilt commands into motion. The final robot responds instantly to your hand gestures, turning you into the driver without a single button press.

What You'll Learn

• Read 3‑axis accelerometer and gyroscope data from the MPU6050 and map it to motion commands
• Configure HC‑05 Bluetooth modules as master and slave for real‑time wireless control
• Drive TT gear motors with an L298N motor driver using PWM and direction logic
• Integrate two Arduino Nano boards into a seamless transmitter‑receiver system using I2C and UART
