Well, looking for examples of how to read GPS data using an Arduino board, I saw that almost everyone used the same module: the Ublox Neo-6M.
So, it is clear then that the main piece, the only sensor, will be the GPS module. This whole project revolves around monitoring the GPS position remotely. At that moment, the only thing I had clear was that I wanted this device to be autonomous and therefore not dependent on being able to connect to a WiFi network or use a SIM card for data communication.Īfter looking at several options I came up with the following implementation concept: I was going to use a radiofrequency module to transmit my GPS position to a receiver that I would have connected to a Raspberry Pi in my house, where I could process and visualize the data. I spent a couple of days thinking about this concept, about how I could develop it, what technologies to use, what devices, etc. Or at least, small enough to carry it yourself in your pocket or your jacket. Imagine having a small device that you could use to track your stuff such as your bike, your laptop, your backpack, even your wallet. "If your bike or motorbike were stolen, wouldn't it be nice to be able to know in that precise instant where it is, or what was its last known position?". Whenever I need inspiration on new IoT projects ideas to work on I phone my colleague Ramiro and in less than 10 minutes we have 4 or 5 ideas on the table.ĭuring our last conversation, he told me about an idea he had that caught my attention.
