I’m doing a project called tracking system for kids. I’m using GPS module neo6mv2 and GSM module sim 900a. Also, using piezo buzzer to alert the people in the house when the kids leaves a particular range set for the gps and a vibration sensor to detect if it falls down. As an additional feature, I wanted to add the trail of path travelled by the kids. Could someone please help me?
I’m using Arduino Uno and for now able to receive sms on the google maps link from gsm but it is not showing the exact location. I’m a beginner and if anyone could teach me on the wiring would help me a lot too. Thanks a lot.
Hello NN12
In my opinion, GPS + GSM is a good combination for tracking system, especially for outdoors. But if you want to use in the house and to track the trail of path, GPS signal could go wrong and it may not be the best choice for you. I suggest you start with “indoor positioning system”. It can provide more accuracy in this condition.
Anyway, it depends on the environment. You can test it out several times to see how the GPS works and how close to locate true position of target.
And if you want to try indoor positioning system, check out this website https://www.pozyx.io
It works with Arduino.
Yes. Thats why I’ll be setting a range for the gps. The trail is to monitor them when they go out from the range or when they’re outdoor.
