GSM + GPS Based Vehicle Location Tracking System using Arduino

hi all in this video we'll learn how to make an arduino based vehicle tracking system using gps and gsm module most of the vehicle tracking system available in market are too costly so i decided to make my own tracking system the vehicle tracking system will send you the location to your mobile phone along with the google map coordinate you can request the location at any time and view the location on google maps that is installed on your mobile phone for this project i have to select a proper low power gsm and gps module so i selected a9g gsm plus gprs plus gps module the device is very small and it can fit anywhere and can be operated using a simple 3.7 volt lithium-ion battery the board has a 32-bit ats amd controller from 8ml which can be programmed using arduino ide after programming the board using arduino ide the board will take some time for determining the location by fixing the gps coordinates you can then request the location by sending a message like typing over location within a while you will receive an sms along with the google maps coordinate you can also make this project using new 6m gps module and sim 800 or 900 module with arduino uno board but this will make your device size very large we'll discuss in detail about this project but for now without getting any delay let's get started [Music] so this is a low powered a9g gsm plus gprs plus gps module integrated with 32 bit 8ml samd microcontroller its front side and backside looks something like this the developer of n9gsm module is ai thinker the model can be programmed by a micro usb port and can be powered by a 3.7 volt lithium ion battery it has a switch to turn on and off the digital input output pins are there which can be used to connect any other modules or sensors a 4-pin port is shown here that is used for connecting an oled display arduino has an 8-bit controller but this has a 32-bit html controller which makes the device super fast it has a voltage regulator ic to control the excess voltage similarly there are two antennas as shown here one is the gsm antenna and another is the gps antenna the signal problem is not seen in this module because of its best design you can insert a micro sim here remember this is a 2g modem only so only 2g sim can be used according to the frequency band just insert the sim on the back side of the module it has a microsd port as well you can also use an sd card to save the data in text format the board doesn't need an external dc jack or higher power supply it can be powered by a 3.7 volt 1000 mah lithium ion battery two battery port is shown here one part is for battery charging and other part is for battery power supply once the battery is connected you can slide the switch to turn on the device two leds are there which indicate the status of the power the board is assembled and manufactured by maker faps one of the best startup companies in china you can directly purchase this board from this official website i'll give the link in the description every info about this board is given here and it's well documented you can follow the documentation part to know more about this board now let us set up directly to the coding part the arduino ide doesn't have a pre-installed support for the samd board so you need to add the board first to the arduino ide so go to the board manager and search for arduino 0. so here is the 32-bit arm cortex board you can install this board i have already installed as you can see it here on the hardware part connect the micro usb cable to the a9g ats amd board and also connect the other end to the computer micro usb port now go to the tools here you will find the arduino samd board so from this list select the arduino 0 native usb port also from this list select the com port so you can see the program here it is a little bit different compared to other gsm gps module and arduino boards the at command 80 plus gps equal to 1 will turn on the gps of the board similarly 80 plus location equal to 2 will retrieve the gps location as latitude and longitude code in the following lines we are sending the message to the particular number you can get the entire code from the website article given in the description so you can upload the code to the at samd board the console window will show the following message after uploading code open the serial monitor the serial monitor will display the initialization message if the location is fixed serial monitor will display the latitude and longitude if the location is still not retrieved the serial monitor will display checking module now you can send the sms to get the location so on your mobile phone open the messaging app and then enter the phone number of the sim used after that type the word location and then simply send it within a while the serial monitor will display the message received status and also tells about the date time and mobile number similarly we'll receive an sms on your mobile phone with latitude and longitude coordinates along with this coordinate you will also receive a links to google maps you can click the link and open it either using google maps or using a chrome browser so you can see it's pointing to the zoom location where i am right now let me zoom out of google map and show you the more precise location thus this is really a great project and can be implemented in your vehicles for a vehicle tracking project it can also be used for controlling the depth of the vehicle or it can be used to find the location of someone who is using your vehicle the same project can be done using arduino uno board sim 900 800 or near 6 gps tackle module an extra lcd is added to the circuit for displaying these status the complete circuit diagram along with the code is in the website article the code is little bit smaller and requires a little modification like replacing a mobile number well that's all from the video thank you for watching drop a like
