This project aims to give to the end user a gps tracker for one of his asset ( car, motor home, bag ).
This project is based on LilyGO T A7670X repositery. This board feature an esp32, a 1S lipo manager and a SimCom A7670X modem. ( with or without gps).
You will end to install the following Arduino librairies before flashing the software :
-
Install the current upstream Arduino IDE at the 1.8 level or later. The current version is at the Arduino website.
-
Start Arduino and open Preferences window. In additional board manager add url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json .separating them with commas.
-
Select Tools -> Board Management -> Search for ESP32 and install
-
Select Tools -> Board -> ESP32 Wrover Modelu Module
-
Need to install the following dependencies (Unzip and copy to the '~Arduino/libraries' directory)
You only need to send an SMS to the number attached to the sim card in order to get the position of the tracker. A first message will be sent back in order to confirm the reception of the request and a second one will be sent when gps is available.
I aim to turn this project into a tiny global asset tracker using internet request to track multiple asset realtime
