Arduino (or similar) based GPS Tracker, transmits via SMS.

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Arduino based GPS tracker that transmits its location via SMS to be read and interpreted by a computer on Google Maps.

 

An example use would be for a bus, you could transmit back to a server that displays results on a mobile app.

 

Could use any micro-controller e.g. Raspberry Pi.

If I did it myself I would like to use an Arduino due to cost constraints and I don't need it to do complicated tasks except what's stated.

 

Hope this peaks someones interest!

 

Cheers,

    Ben made a phone using some AdaFruit parts, these use "AT" commands over a serial port so pretty much any microcontroller should be able to handle it. I just spotted that they have an module with built in GPS too.
