hello everyone, im chris, im making a GPS/GSM microcontroller application, right now im still choosing the right kit to buy, im intending to make an application that when asked, the gsm module would send the GPS data to the sender, luckily ive found this kit…
my only concern before i buy this is that…is this a standalone kit or does this need a computer connected through USB? im intending to make a standalone application, and is there any sample code available for this? i really need to finish this since this is a final project for one of my subjects, thank you very much for everyone who would help me on this, thank you
hello sir, thank u for the reply, my next question is, how will i be able to retrieve information from the GPS, like say getting the current position of the gps module, and then sending these information to a celphone thu the gsm module device…is this possible using only 1 program utilizing both gps and gsm communications? thank you sir
Is the Arduino Uno compatible with the GPS Data Logger kit sold by robotshop? In the ‘How to guide’ they show
an Arduino Diecimila which has been discontinued.
The objectives of this project are 1) tracking real-time GPS locations of a bus, 2) sending this data to a web service through GSM, and 3) the web service transmitting this data to a bus stop every 10 sec.
Does this GPS / GSM Arduino shield work well when placed on a moving vehicle for location tracking? i.e. fast response time of GPS
It’s a shield - so you’ll need a shield compatible Arduino-based microcontroller such as the Arduino Uno. This would make it stand alone once a program has been uploaded. The Arduino would need to be connected to and programmed via a computer, and then disconnected to work on its own.
For that, you need to read through the documentation. You will need to create code to upload to the Arduino which does all you want. Note that the GPS module is for fairly advanced users. You can use GPS and GSM (almost) simultaneously, and you can certainly use both features within the same program.
He did not experiment the GPS in a moving vehicle but it should be able to lock on a location even if it is moving, just make sure you place the antenna near a window or , ideally, on top of the roof. Also, the GPS will not lock in dense urban areas.
