Reading GPS data with an ESP8266 and the Neo-6M At that moment, the only thing I had clear was that I wanted this device to be autonomous and therefore not dependent on being able to connect to a WiFi network or use a SIM card for data communication.Īfter looking at several options I came up with the following implementation concept: I was going to use a radiofrequency module to transmit my GPS position to a receiver that I would have connected to a Raspberry Pi in my house, where I could process and visualize the data. I spent a couple of days thinking about this concept, about how I could develop it, what technologies to use, what devices, etc. Or at least, small enough to carry it yourself in your pocket or your jacket. Imagine having a small device that you could use to track your stuff such as your bike, your laptop, your backpack, even your wallet. "If your bike or motorbike was stolen, wouldn't it be nice to be able to know in that precise instant where it is, or what was its last known position?". Whenever I need inspiration on new IoT projects ideas to work on I phone my colleague Ramiro and in less than 10 minutes we have 4 or 5 ideas on the table.ĭuring our last conversation, he told me about an idea he had that caught my attention. What's this about? A quick project overview
#Trackmap grafana how to#
In this guide, (I finally get to do it) we will explore how to transmit GPS data wirelessly with the LoRa-02 module and how to visualize that data in real-time on a Grafana dashboard! For some time now, I've been looking for a good excuse to work on a project related to radio communication.
