Vehicle Water Quality Monitoring Kit Online - Arduino GPS Data Logger
Vehicle GPS Tracker Kit with Arduino Nano + Sensor - Mobile Water Quality Mapping Station
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn a vehicle into a moving water quality lab. This kit equips you to build a field-ready logger that captures pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity readings at every GPS coordinate along a route - all timestamped by a real-time clock and stored on a microSD card. Post-survey, a Python script renders the entire dataset as an interactive Folium map, showing exactly how water parameters shift across geography. Ideal for environmental impact studies, agricultural runoff mapping, or university research projects that demand reliable field data collection.
What You'll Build
A self-contained, waterproof data acquisition system powered by a rechargeable LiPo battery. Connect it to a vehicle's accessory port (or run standalone), set your sampling interval, and let it record four water quality parameters while on the move. At the end of a trip, pull the microSD card, run the provided Python notebook, and generate a clickable map with color-coded markers that reveal spatial trends in water quality.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing multiple analog sensors (pH, EC, DO, turbidity) with an Arduino Nano and applying calibration curves
- Parsing NMEA sentences from a NEO-6M GPS module and synchronizing records with a DS3231 RTC
- Designing a power management circuit with a TP4056 module and 3.7V LiPo for portable, long-duration logging
- Writing efficient microSD data logging code that handles sensor read errors and GPS lock status
- Building an interactive Folium map in Python to visualize geotagged environmental data with layer controls

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech and M.Tech students in ECE, environmental engineering, or water resource management will find this a ready platform for final-year projects or Smart India Hackathon challenges around water quality mapping. Field technicians and research scholars mapping pollution in canals, rivers, or coastal zones can rapidly deploy a GPS-tagged sensor array without designing circuits from scratch. The advanced soldering and integration work also makes it a strong preparatory build for IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS lab courses in embedded systems and IoT.
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 inside the box to chat with the AI companion built for this specific kit; if needed, our team responds on WhatsApp within a business day.
How do I power the logger on a moving vehicle?
You can wire the TP4056 module to a vehicle's 12V accessory socket using a standard car USB adapter, or run it off the LiPo cell alone for short stationary sampling trips.
Are the water sensors calibrated out of the box?
The kit includes calibration buffers for pH and EC. The AI companion walks you through a two-point calibration routine that takes less than 15 minutes before first use.
Can I visualise the data without Python experience?
We provide a ready-to-run Jupyter notebook that ingests your CSV file and generates the Folium map in one click - no coding needed beyond changing file paths.
Vehicle - pH, EC, DO and turbidity sensors log GPS-tagged readings. Python renders interactive Folium map overlay.
