What is GPS Arduino®?

GPS Arduino® is any project that combines the Arduino® platform with GPS receiver. Due to the relatively low costs and the general availability of both components, GPS Arduino® is common. Many inventors have created projects that integrate this combination. Robotics, house improvement devices and programmable equipment include common uses for the platform. Like other open source -code hardware projects, Arduino® components are produced non -exclusive by several manufacturers. One way is to manually connect the GPS chipset into the board. This method uses very little in terms of performance or other components, but is technically complex and more difficult than alternatives. Another way to implement GPS Arduino® is the connection of the GPS handheld to the board using a USB or serial cable. Acabel connection is useful for users who already have a hand GPS device.

The most common way to create GPS Arduino® GPS is the use of GPS shield. Shields are not fully fUnktční boards, but can be used to add functions to other boards. Favorite shields include WiFi® Shield and LCD Shield, which allow the inventions to be connected to wireless networks and LCD monitors.

Regardless of whether a GPS shield or other method is used to connect GPS with the board, GPS Arduino® is a useful combination. Because these boards, which are already very versatile and are able to integrate GPS data into their programming, a wide range of projects is possible. Some users used it to create sensor networks that accurately record the location of the collected data. Others built robots capable of navigating long distances. One inventor used GPS Arduino & rnapř; Creating a wooden gift box that would open and reveal its content when it is taken to a specific place.

Increasing popularity of smartphones provides another way to create this combination. Some deThe Arduino® Sky are able to use Bluetooth® to connect with smartphones. If phones are configured to share GPS data in this connection, the device would have locations that are only slightly less accurate than using your own on the on -board sensor. This combination is only useful for projects that always move with a person because Bluetooth® has an effective range of only a few feet.
