Revisiting an old project, hopefully I can make it better this time.

I am using the following:
U-blox 6m module amzn.to/2CcKvRC (UK) amzn.to/2N81XLo (US)
Lomo box: amzn.to/2CcLL7i (UK) - A US version was hard to find, this may suit amzn.to/2PxOAlp

Code if you would like to play along - davidjwatts.com/youtube/v2_gps_plus_sd_card_code.i…

GPS libraries like TinyGPS and AdafruitGPS are actually really good, I just find I learn more doing as much as I can myself.

It turns out that 'Likes' and 'Shares' actually help the channel so, if you want to, please click the thumbs up or share the video.

I don't have a Patreon or a donate thingy, I get by fine. That said, if you are mega rich and fancy donating something I would find useful then feel free to check out my Amazon wishlist (No pressure) - www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/29JZFQUC2NZ8V

I put lots of my favourite products and stuff that helps me make video up on this Amazon page - www.amazon.com/shop/davidwatts It is one of those affiliate things.

    Great project - definitely one to pay attention to... Thanks for sharing so clearly...
  • Awesome project! I really need to have a play with my U-Blox GPS too. I love the blue painters tape.. I go through rolls of it... use it for everything other than painting!
  • @tobortine
    Interesting project which I look forward to seeing progress.

    Have a project on similar lines but going to add a low power accelerometer to trigger logging and store the data to FRAM. Plan on keeping it in my camera bag to automatically log location of photos by matching times on photos with log. Also testing an Arduino 1200 sigfox to report location over the air but this seems a bit hit and miss. Think I need a better arial for it to work properly in my bag.

    Openlog + Ublox is a quick solution as well. Nice video! Need to get me one of those waterproof cases

    Looking forward to the low power aspect of this project @David Watts (hopefully individual measurements of each module and showing the efficiency saving) plus the battery, charge and protection circuits. Plus creating your own board. I had a similar project over a year ago which you kindly gave advice on. Although still not quite finished yet, it does work. 👍🏻

    is there a way that i can increase the precision of my smartphone using some u-blox? maybe a device with an antenna that is connected by bluetooth or usb cable
  • Just a questions, I have some problem with the files. How do I upload file .ino file to Arduino? your help is greatly appreicated.
  • can we have a full schematic? i really love this project just a little confusing about wiring
  • @MrLeovini
    Excellent contribution my estimate. Please your help. How could we place a column that tells us the speed between points. Greetings from Ecuador.
  • Hi, It been snowing in Smyrna,TN for the second time in a month and made me to do some hobby again from being boredom. I have tried your 2nd projects, but, still another problems: How do I get "time,Latitude,Longitude,fix,Satelite,Altitude" to be enabled in text file before I can upload to GPSvisualizer, second: My CTZ is 6 hours behind GMT, how do I fix it? Thank you.
  • Hello sir. that was really a fantastic project . Good job . could you please record a tutorial and teach us your code line by line ?
  • Nice David. I do not see an antenna hooked up to the gps module. Are you still getting good signal regardless?
  • Nice video David. Have you seen the Makerfabs Maduino Zero? It's a GPS+GSM+Arduino Zero+SIM+MicroSD all on one board for $18.80+$2.82 delivered from China. It also has a LiPo interface and comes with antennas for GSM and GPS. Basically an all-in-one solution to your tracker with the added bonus of 2G GSM should you need it.

    Hi David, I really want to give this project ago, but your amazon links are outdated. Can you update them? Plus I really want to be able to send the GPS Data via SMS to a URL. I'm a web developer and also a Mountain Leader in the UK. I want to develop a simple device to use with Duke of Edinburgh groups. Therefore, create a simple web interface to be able to see the GPS DATA. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 🙌🏻
