Vehicle Crash Detector Pro Kit with Arduino Uno + MPU6050
Vehicle Crash Detector Pro Kit — Arduino-Powered Motion Stabilization
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Demonstrate how modern vehicles maintain stability during sudden tilts or crash-like forces. This kit constructs a single-axis platform where a DC motor continuously adjusts a beam to balance a rolling ball, using real-time MPU6050 tilt data and a tuned PID control loop. It’s a direct hands-on model for automotive electronic stability control, perfect for school innovation labs and engineering project submissions.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a working digital balancing rig. A 0.96-inch OLED shows live tilt angles and motor position. When you nudge the beam, the system reacts instantly — correcting tilt and keeping the ball centered. The same logic used in vehicle rollover prevention or crash impact compensation is here, scaled down for your desk.
What You'll Learn
- Read and calibrate MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope data over I2C
- Implement a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm on Arduino Uno
- Drive a 12V DC motor through an L298N H-bridge with encoder feedback
- Debug control loops using real-time OLED visualization

Who This Kit Is For
CBSE Class 11–12 students preparing for physics or electronics exhibitions, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates tackling mechatronics mini-projects, and ATL Tinkering Lab innovators exploring motion control. Also ideal for Smart India Hackathon prototypes where sensor-based stability is a core function.
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 to chat with the AI companion, or send a photo on WhatsApp to our Bengaluru team — we’ll help you debug the issue step by step.
Do I need to solder any component?
No soldering is required. All connections use a breadboard and male-to-male jumper wires; the motor driver and encoder come with screw terminals.
How do I tune the PID values for a new ball?
The AI companion guides you through a simple calibration routine on the OLED. Start with the provided baseline values, then tweak P, I, and D using the encoder knob while watching the ball’s response.
Can I demonstrate this at an automotive safety seminar?
Absolutely. The rig sits on a table and reacts visibly to manual tilts. The OLED readout shows real-time crash-like tilt events, making it a compelling demo for vehicle stability concepts.
