Arduino plus GSM / GPS shield and Google Earth to create a GPS tracker

Arduino with GSM / GPS shield A new version of the library and the example program for the Arduino GSM/GPRS/GPS-Shield is available. Version 1.2 allows for both the Arduino Duemilanove/UNO, as well as for the Arduino Mega2560 to transmit the current GPS coordinates in formatted form via SMS. This data can then be entered to […]

MP45DT01: Digital microphone for people tracker, antitheft systems and wireless video cameras

Digital microphone to deliver crystal-clear audio and to eliminate the “GSM noise” in your M2M application

The MP45DT01 MEMS, digital-output microphone enables advancements in sound quality by providing omni-directional sensitivity to detect and filter out background noise. Sound quality can be further improved by incorporating multiple microphones in one device.

Cellular antenna working inside all-metal case

Capacitive-feed antenna that can be enclosed in an all-metal mobile handset case People that know and follow me a longer period already note that I am reading and collecting anything about embedded cellular antennas that looks unique.  My hard disk is full with files about special small embedded antennas. Today I make a text public […]

M2M module: Embedded Linux, ARM9, GPRS module, USB and further Interfaces

Today I would like to show and to talk about a new Linux based application for wireless M2M. The PCB is already in use in several projects. Based on its enclosure it can be used as a final product for end users. It supports a lot of interfaces like SD card / MMC card, GPIO Pins , AD / DA converter, UARTs, USB Device, USB Host, I2C, SPI and JTAG. At GPIO you will find PMW (Pulse Wide Modulation), counters and other intelligent channels.

Arduino with GSM GPRS GPS Shield

… the extension module for GSM / GPRS and GPS

The open-source physical computing platform Arduino, based on easily applicable hardware and software for the development of prototypes, consists of a micro controller
(ATmega328) with numerous digital as well as analogue inputs and outputs and interfaces…
Arduino boards can be expanded to valuable features by plugging the so-called ”Shields”. With the GSM / GPRS/ GPS-Shield the Arduino board is enabled to use GSM (mobile communication) and GPS functionality (navigation), for example

Navigation without GPS? Sensors with Greenfield app in cellphones could replace the need of GPS

Team of researchers at Microsoft has taken up the task of giving you a perfect solution in the situations where GPS refuses to work. A prototype device called Menlo phone will collect the data with the help of the sensors, as the user walks indoors or in the places where GPS’s signals are weak.

Reference design for RFID temperature data logger

With  a data logger reference design based on the 64-Kbit Dual Interface EEPROM (M24LR64), a low power Microcontroller (STM8L101) and a digital temperature sensor (STTS75) you can develop your data logger quick and easy. It measures temperature, and offers an RF access to the data of the application thanks to the ISO15693 interface of the […]
