Arduino Uno Vehicle Tilt & GPS Alarm Kit - Instant SMS Alert on Unauthorized Movement

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Your parked motorcycle or car stays silent - until someone tilts it. This kit turns an Arduino Uno, a gyroscope, a GPS receiver, and a GSM module into a self-contained security system. The moment the MPU6050 detects a change in orientation, the system reads the current GPS coordinates from NEO-6M, logs them onto a microSD card with timestamp, and immediately sends an SMS containing a clickable Google Maps link to your phone. No cloud subscription, no external server - just a hardworking piece of hardware that guards your vehicle.

What You'll Build

A solid-state tilt alarm module you can hide under the seat or inside the dashboard. It wakes up on vibration, captures latitude-longitude, stores the event on SD card for later review, and fires a SIM800L SMS with a URL like https://maps.google.com/?q=12.9716,77.5946. The whole system runs on 12V from the vehicle battery, regulated safely by an LM2596 buck converter, and includes filtering capacitors to keep readings clean even with electrical noise from the ignition.

What You'll Learn

• Interfacing MPU6050 with Arduino to detect tilt thresholds and filter false triggers
• Parsing NMEA sentences from NEO-6M GPS to extract precise latitude and longitude
• Controlling SIM800L via AT commands to compose and send SMS messages programmatically
• Writing sensor and GPS data to a microSD card in CSV format for forensic analysis
