GPS
Interfacing Telit GM862 GPS module with an Arduino
25. May 2009 - 20:36 — adminTelit GM862 is a GPRS + GPS module with simple AT-based communication protocol. You can connect it to the Arduino in easy way.
GPS to SD-Card Data Logger
29. October 2008 - 20:02 — adminThis project combines a GPS receiver module, a Microchip PIC microcontroller and a Secure Digital memory card to make a GPS data logger.
Open-source AVL
17. September 2008 - 22:07 — adminAVL stands for Automatic Vehicle Location, which is accomplished by means of a tracking GPS and M2M modules. Actually a small AVL can be used to track any objects, including kids and pets.
ARM Car locator
16. July 2008 - 0:20 — adminThis car locator is built around an LM3S811 microcontroller. It uses a GPS receiver to record geographical coordinates and a GSM modem to communicate with the user. If the car moves, the system sends an alert.
Nano GPS logger
28. June 2008 - 13:19 — adminThis is a small GPS logger based on the San Jose Navigation FV-M8 GPS module that stores coordinates, altitude, and speed into an EEPROM.
LCD display for GPS module
27. June 2008 - 15:57 — adminA cool and creative way to combine the PIC Programming with the GPS LCD display.
GPS data logger
14. June 2008 - 14:08 — adminA GPS data logger that records position data from the GPS module. The position data is received in NMEA-0183 format and store its sequence into any storage device. The position data can be processed with existing GPS utilities for interesting applications.
A Butterfly GPS
28. May 2008 - 13:57 — adminThe handy Butterfly GPS is a cost-effective system that presents location, date, and time data on its LCD. The system features an ATmega169 and a highly sensitive GPS receiver engine board based on the SiRF chipset.
Abstract
GPS/GSM tracker
13. May 2008 - 19:16 — adminKind of a mobile tracker with the Telit GPS/GSM module and AVR ATMega8.
Open GPS Tracker
23. April 2008 - 21:26 — adminThe Open GPS Tracker is a small device which plugs into a $20 prepaid mobile phone to make a GPS tracker. The Tracker responds to text message commands, detects motion, and sends you its exact position, ready for Google Maps or your mapping software. The Tracker firmware is open source and user-customizable.
