GPS System is very commonly used in every field such as Vehicle Tracking, Human Tracking, Ship Tracking and Bicycle Tracking System. In this tutorial, We show you how you send a GPS Location To Another Mobile Number in A text form.
This project uses TinyCircuits to create a tiny GPS tracking and data logging device. This tutorial is for any skill level - no coding, programming, or soldering required! Just follow the steps below and you can have your device working in minutes.
You will also need to install the most recent version of the SPIFlash library. In your Arduino IDE, open your Library Manager (under the 'Sketch' tab) and search for 'SPIFlash'. Click 'Install' to install the library to your IDE, as shown above.
Start with the TinyDuino on the bottom of the stack. Add the USB TinyShield, then the Flash Memory TinyShield. The GPS TinyShield goes on top.
With your Mounting Kit, add spacers between the boards on the side opposite the connector. This will make sure your stack stays rigid and prevent your connectors from coming apart if pressure is placed on that side. If you're having difficulty placing them with bare fingers, I recommend a pair of tweezers to make the job easier.
Drop the screw through the holes and placed spaces and screw in the bolt on the other side to seal the deal. Finger tightening will be just fine to hold everything in place.
Plug in your Lithium Battery and your assembly is finished!
Click here to download the .zip file containing the sketch. Save the 'GPS_Tracker' sketch folder as pictured above to any destination you like. Double click on 'GPS_Tracker.ino' to open the IDE.
Ensure that the connection to your TinyDuino is configured properly, turn on your TinyDuino, and hit upload. Open the Serial Monitor to ensure that your device is outputting properly
For optimal GPS data readings, the sensor at the end of the antenna on top of the stack should be parallel with the ground. (Note that the coiling or bending of the antenna wire will not affect your readings.) This is best achieved by carrying the stack upright in some sort of containment. Pictured above is a potential setup that I took for a test drive - I have the stack upright in an anti-static plastic bag, which could be pinned to a backpack strap or the shoulder of your coat. You can accomplish this same effect in a number of creative ways. Maybe there's a tiny box that can accompany you on your journey!
When you power on your device, it will take ten seconds for the GPS module to wake up and begin configuring. It usually takes a few minutes for the module to precisely determine your position, so it is recommended that you stay still with the device for a minute or two to obtain the best accuracy. Note that factors such as cloud cover, large buildings, and large land or rock masses in close proximity can affect GPS readings.
