Vehicle Crash Detector Plus Kit with ESP32 + MPU6050
Build an AI Vehicle Crash Detector & Health Monitor with ESP32 + 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 device that sits on your motorcycle or car, continuously learning its normal vibration patterns—and the moment it detects a crash, imbalance, or a failing wheel bearing, it alerts you instantly. This kit lets you build exactly that, using an MPU6050 accelerometer sampling at 200Hz and a machine learning model trained right on the ESP32-S3. You’ll capture motion data, extract spectral features with Edge Impulse, and train an on-device classifier that distinguishes between normal driving, mechanical imbalance, and early bearing faults—a real-world automotive safety project that fits in your palm.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a compact module that mounts on any two-wheeler or four-wheeler test rig. The MPU6050 streams acceleration and gyroscope data at 200 times per second into the ESP32-S3, where a spectral features model (trained via Edge Impulse) categorises every motion snapshot as Normal, Imbalance, or Bearing Fault. A 0.96-inch OLED displays the real-time classification, while the DS3231 RTC stamps every event with date and time, and the MicroSD module logs everything for later analysis—a complete crash-and-health monitor you can use in STEM submissions, hackathons, or your own vehicle experiments.
What You'll Learn
- Sampling an IMU sensor at 200Hz and buffering data for feature extraction on the ESP32-S3
- Generating spectral features (FFT, power bands) and training a TinyML model with Edge Impulse
- Deploying an on-device classifier for real-time anomaly detection without cloud dependency
- Combining an RTC, SD card logger, and OLED to build a standalone, time-stamped diagnostic tool

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for CBSE Class 11-12 students exploring AI in automotive safety, B.Tech ECE/EEE final‑year project groups, and teams competing in Smart India Hackathon or ATL Tinkering Lab challenges. If you’ve ever wanted to take an MPU6050 beyond simple tilt sensing and build a real‑world anomaly detector that runs machine learning at the edge, this intermediate‑level kit gives you the exact hardware, pre‑trained model, and guided build path to deliver a working prototype in a single weekend.
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?
The included AI companion analyses your specific symptom and suggests fixes immediately; you can also send a photo over WhatsApp—our support team knows this board layout and codebase inside out.
Do I need prior experience with Edge Impulse or machine learning?
No. The kit includes a pre‑trained spectral features model and a detailed guide on how to import, modify, and redeploy it. Within the 5‑hour build window you’ll understand the full pipeline, from data collection to inference.
Can this device be mounted on a real vehicle for on‑road testing?
The module is a prototype meant for stationary or test‑rig trials. If you choose to mount it on a moving vehicle, ensure proper vibration damping and safety—Compoden’s AI companion can help you with casing and wiring suggestions, but the final responsibility rests with you.
What if I have never soldered before?
The kit includes a soldering iron, solder wire, and through‑hole components that are forgiving to beginners. The AI companion provides clear visuals for each joint, and you’ll gain a vital prototyping skill by the time the board is ready.
Automotive Safety — MPU6050 at 200Hz feeds Edge Impulse spectral features model. Classifies normal, imbalance or bearing fault.
