The Ferret is a high-altitude balloon tracking hardware package. Created by [Adam Greig] and [Jon Sowman], it uses an Arduino to gather NMEA data from a GPS unit, format the data into a string ...

This makes the Arduino GPS data logger not just a simple tracking device, but a comprehensive tool for data analysis and research.

That said, it’s pretty easy to build using an Arduino, a GSM shield, a GPS system, and a handful of other components. The whole system is strapped and locked to the bottom of the saddle.

The device includes a GPS for tracking its position, an accelerometer for motion sensing, a GSM card for wireless communication, and an Arduino to control it all.

Trackuino is a new open source (GPLv2 license) Arduino APRS tracker designed by [Javier Martin]. If you are unfamiliar: APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) is an amateur radio method used to r… ...
