handmade gsm gps tracker second edition
The uTracker design is centered around the GE865 platform, which provides a robust foundation for various tracking applications. The integration of the SIM300DZ and EB-230/LEA-5S modules ensures reliable communication and positioning capabilities. The OBD-II sensor allows for vehicle diagnostics and monitoring, making it an essential feature for automotive applications. The accelerometer contributes to motion detection and can be used for applications such as fall detection or vehicle impact sensing.
The inclusion of an RFID reader enhances the system's capabilities by allowing for identification and tracking of tagged objects, which can be particularly useful in inventory management or access control systems. The TR24 2.4GHz module enables wireless communication, providing flexibility in data transmission without relying on a USB link to the host, which can simplify the overall design and reduce potential points of failure.
Transitioning all connections to SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) not only standardizes communication but also optimizes the use of available pins. This change potentially frees up three pins that can be repurposed for additional buttons, enhancing user interaction and control over the device.
The u-blox LEA-5S module is renowned for its high sensitivity and fast acquisition times, making it suitable for applications requiring precise location tracking. Overall, the design of the uTracker combines advanced features and modules to create a versatile and efficient tracking solution for a variety of applications, ranging from automotive to logistics and beyond.New uTracker on GE865 Small size. New edition of tracker (SIM300DZ, EB-230/LEA-5S). Add OBD-II (ISO) sensor, accelerometer and RFID reader. Add TR24 2.4GHz module except USB link to host. Change all to SPI (free 3 pins to buttons ?) Add u-blox LEA-5S. 🔗 External reference
