I am looking to start up a new project to make a very small GPS tracking device for a bicycle. After my last bike was stolen I thought it could be an interesting project. The idea is to make a system which the user could send a text message (to wake up) and then receive a text message back from the device to their mobile phone containing the GPS co-ordinates. Similar to the spylamp
It will be my first proper picaxe project for a while and I know that although it would probably be cheaper to just buy the spylamp, I think I'd like to give it a go myself.
I Imagine I will need;
GPS module
GSM module
Antennae
Picaxe chip
Battery (lithium)
I had imagined that I would embed all of the electronics into a plastic tube type thing which I could slide down the seat pole and easily take out to charge the battery etc. So size is probably the most important part of this project. Does anyone know of any projects similar to this posted here? Or recommend some GPS/GSM modules, which picaxe chip would be the best for the job?
Thanks
