more DIY GSM GPS tracking
Aug 20, 2007 gps navigation, hacks, tracking
If our previous article on DIY GSM GPS tracking was too difficult for you here is another option for you. This one is from Nick at DDP who’ll explain how he managed to put together a GPS tracking device with the Telit GM862-GPS module.
I purchased the GM862 Evaluation Kit (RS232 version) from SparkFun Electronics, at a cost of $309.60 (if you are in the UK import duty of around £25 may also be due, along with shipping). There are various other suppliers of GM862 based hardware, including Area SX s.r.l., Round Solutions (various development boards available), and Sequoia however unless you really know what you are doing, the cheapest / easiest solution will be to get the SparkFun Kit, which also includes the compatible evaluation / breakout board, antennas, power supply, and serial cable.

What about this GSM GPS module:
http://www.aldacom.com/gsm-gps/gps-tracking.html
* Quad band GPRS module C2-S
* Sirf Str 3 based GPS module AarLogic GPS 3M
* ATMEL micro controller ATMEGA 162V-8AI with JTAG interface
* RS232 interface on +/- 12 Volt and CMOS level
* Standard 2,54 mm connectors
The making of an own AVL tracking device was never simpler then with GSM GPS module CN4-M
It already holds the components as below
Features of GPS tracking module
- Quad band GPRS module C2-S
- Sirf Str 3 based GPS module
- Full car / truck voltage range DC power supply DC 9 to 32 Volt
- RS232 interface on +/- 12 Volt and CMOS level
- SIM card holder
- ATMEL micro controller ATMEGA 162V-8AI with JTAG interface
- Standard 2,54 mm connectors
- RF connectors U.FL to wire RF cables or GSM/GPS antenna
- Several I/0 lines
It is supported by source code in C and Basic for the test server of GPS tracking applications http://www.track4free.com
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 for customised versions for your specific application.
