GSM / GPS modules & Arduino boards @ Spark Fun

I’ve checked out some GPS modules before but this one from sparkfun seems to be the one to use,

it’s small, easy-to-use, well, i am going to find out soon by ordering one…

It’s got a serial interface and its own RTOS and you can customize the ARM7TDMI if you want to and you are that advanced…

and try to see if i can make a gps enabled car graphic screen in 1 minute!

hehe… 🙂

Make has a nice article on it here:

   I will use this for my next project for vehicle tracking.

   What about the PCBs as below:

   GSM / GPS module Aldacom CN4
   http://www.aldacom.com/gsm-gps/gps-tracking.html

   GSM / GPS module Round Solutions Aarlogic C05
   http://www.roundsolutions.com/aarlogic/index.htm

   Both devices are pin compatible and offer:

   – DC/DC power supply 6 to 40 Volt
   – Power supply with inverse and high voltage protection

   – SIM card holder

   – A couple of I/0 channels
   – RF interfaces based on U.FL connectors plus selected RD cables and antennas
   – Source code with support of Track4free www.track4free.com
   http://www.roundsolutions.com/uk_track4free.htm

   Differences of CN4 and Aarlogic C05
   – C05 supports the programming language Python on is embedded Python interpreter

   – CN4 supports C and Basic based on ATMEGA 162V-8AI with JTAG interface

   By wiring the GSM GPS module to your car with cigarette light cable, you get a working tracking device. By developing a small and simple adapter PCB to the dimensions of your enclosure you get your own unique GPS tracking device. If you replace the GPS module, then you get a PCB for burglar alarm system or any other telemetry application. Please feel free to ask for customised versions for your specific application.
