The system uses an Arduino Uno, a GSM shield, a GPS module, and a few other smaller parts. The idea here is pretty simple: you hide the Arduino somewhere in the car, hook it up to the battery, and ...

If you have a few hours to spare this weekend and fancy a project to increase your skills with Arduino, you might be interested in this Arduino powered car tracking system which has been featured ...

Makers, hobbyists and developers that enjoy building projects using the Arduino platform might be interested in this awesome Arduino GPS Map Navigation System which was being built by Kathy Yang.

The GPS module obviously provides the tracking capabilities, but also has built-in data logging functionality. This means that [Becky] didn’t need to add complexity with any special logging circuit.

All told, it's not terribly difficult to do, especially if you have a little experience with electronics projects, and when it's all finished you'll have a low-cost GPS tracking system that doesn ...

Next time you’re looking for a small compact GPS tracker or cellular logger take a look at this project’s code on GitHub or the A9G and RDA8955 modules. Thanks [Ivor] for sending this one in!

Over at DSS Circuits, Wayne Truchsess has posted a great article about a “Honeypot” he built inside an empty PS3 case. The device includes a GPS for tracking its position, an accelerometer for ...
