Vehicle Crash Detector Kit – Learn Tilt-Based Servo Control with Arduino Uno

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 an autonomous vehicle that instantly detects a rollover and counteracts to keep passengers safe. With this kit, you’ll build a balance beam that a servo actively keeps horizontal based on MPU6050 tilt readings – a visual introduction to the P-controllers used in real-world stability systems. Whether you're preparing for a school science exhibition or exploring robotics, this project brings vehicle dynamics to your workbench.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble a sensor-controlled balance beam where an SG90 servo rotates a beam to stay level regardless of how you tilt the base. The MPU6050 accelerometer/gyroscope continuously reads angle and commands the servo via a proportional (P) controller – just like a vehicle’s electronic stability program counteracts skidding. When tilted beyond a threshold, the response simulates a crash detection alert, with visual feedback from LED indicators.

What You'll Learn

• Reading MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope data over I2C
• Implementing a proportional (P) control loop to maintain setpoint
• Driving a servo motor based on real-time sensor corrections
• Debugging sensor noise with hardware filtering (capacitors and resistors)
