Mini Conveyor Belt Speed Control Kit with Arduino & Stepper Motor
Mini Conveyor Belt Variable Speed Demo Kit - Arduino Uno & Stepper Motor Control
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 miniature factory conveyor belt that speeds up or slows down with a turn of a knob, and detects when something passes by, flashing the speed on a tiny OLED display. That's exactly what you'll build with this beginner-friendly Arduino kit. It's a real-world introduction to industrial automation - in a tabletop project you complete in an afternoon.
What You'll Build
Assemble a working belt drive conveyor using a NEMA 17 stepper motor and A4988 driver, controlled by an Arduino Uno. A potentiometer sets the belt speed - turn it clockwise to accelerate, counter-clockwise to decelerate, and watch the real-time RPM on the OLED. Place an object on the belt; the IR sensor detects it and triggers a response like a stop or a count, just like in real automated sorting systems.
What You'll Learn
- Program a stepper motor with precise speed control using the A4988 driver
- Read analog input from a potentiometer and map it to motor RPM
- Use an IR proximity sensor to detect objects on the conveyor belt
- Display real-time data (speed, object count) on an OLED screen via I2C

Who This Kit Is For
Whether you're a curious 10-year-old with an adult by your side, a high school student preparing for an ATL Tinkering Lab showcase, or a B.Tech freshman exploring motor control, this kit gives you a complete, frustration-free start. It's also perfect for CBSE science exhibitions, Smart India Hackathon junior prototypes, and hobbyists who want a plug-and-play motor & motion control demo without hunting for datasheets.
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?
Just scan the QR code inside the box for your AI companion. It will walk you through every connection, troubleshoot common mistakes, and even share modified code. You can also reach us via WhatsApp for real-time help.
Is a physical conveyor belt included in the kit?
The kit supplies all electronic components. The physical belt (a rubber band or similar) and simple rollers (made from cardboard or popsicle sticks) are not included, but the AI companion provides a step-by-step guide to create them using household items in under 10 minutes.
Can I make the conveyor stop automatically when the sensor detects an object?
Yes, the included example code stops the belt when the IR sensor triggers. The AI companion explains how to modify the logic - you can make it stop briefly, count objects, or reverse direction.
Do I need to solder anything?
Not at all. Every component plugs directly into the 400-point breadboard using pre-cut jumper wires. The breadboard and all connectors are ready to use right out of the box.
NEMA17 drives a mini conveyor belt at potentiometer-set speed. IR sensor detects object passing.
