Once the purview of strictly military operations, GPS has become a regular part of modern living and in relatively short time! Who wouldn’t want want to know when and where they are anywhere on the planet? It’s a science fiction dream brought into reality, one now so woven into our lives it seems almost trivial. […]

You’re in a crowded street with many high buildings around you and you find your car position on Google maps is wrong. That’s usual, right? This is caused from (fake/distorted) GPS signals reflected from the high buildings around you which make your GPS receiver do some wrong calculations. So be careful don’t always listen to

We are very excited to announce the RFzero – a multipurpose Arduino RF and GPS controlled platform. The RFzero can generate frequencies from 2605 Hz and beyond 200 MHz. At the same time 28 I/O pins are available and eight of those are via an ULN2803A power driver. For more information please visit http://rfzero.net The typical use of
Arduino and RF from kHz to 1 GHz Continue Reading
If you can ride a bike with no handlebars, no handlebars, no handlebars, you can do just about anything. You can take apart a remote control, and you can almost put it back together. You can listen in on a two meter repeater and you can build a GPS module speedometer. That’s what [Jeremy Cook] did
THIS GPS SPEEDOMETER HANGS OFF YOUR HANDLEBARS Continue Reading

Presented here is an Arduino-based vehicle tracking system using global positioning system (GPS) and global system for mobile communication (GSM) modules. GSM modem with a SIM card used here uses the communication technique of a regular cellphone. The system can be installed or hidden in your vehicle at a suitable location. After installing this circuit,

Description When the world’s lifeforms are forced into subterranean dwellings due to nuclear fallout, evolution into lizard people or warming of the Earth, we will require a simple method for determining our position underground. In our current age, we are still working out the intricacies associated with determining our location in areas where GPS cannot
