So I had this idea to make my own gps tracker .
And thought why not to use a spare usb flash drive for saving the data in it .
My question is can I interface a common usb flash drive with an arduino duemilanove ?
I know that must be a usb to serial converter to do that ,but I also know that arduino has one integrated to communicate with the pc .
So any suggestions ?
I know this one.
I have used the Vmusic2 drive for years now as Walter’s voice --it uses a thumb drive. The same company makes a similar unit without the MP3 part (data only) but again, via a flash drive.

Too pricey for me at the moment .
Im now considering using my rasperry pi that lays around and has usb host ports on it already .
I got to do some research on how to use those gpio pins it has .
got it working
I just got my em406a working with my raspberry pi and locked in 2 minutes .
Here is a print screen with the ssh terminal spitting out coordinates
Now I have to make it save the data to a file in raw nmea .
