I have just retrieved a small gps buy from ebay, called Mini GPS (enf pg03), cost around 20€ …pl410961-mini_navigator_dt_efnpg03_displaying_accurate_time_synchronized_by_satelliteIt is a small size and portable GPS receiver with data collecting and calculating functions. It also provides indication of geograpic coordinates, directions, world time, distance, milage, and velocity information. Its high-sensitive direction indication guide user to go back original departure position or go to the presetted target position. The unit shows clear travelling date in detail, such as, the direction of the target position, distance, satellite time, and velocity information in usage.

This small unit do not provide to record tracking informations … so, start to disassemble it, in the goal to record NMEA sentence. Continuer la lecture de PG03 MiniGPS and tracking recorder →

Ardui’Home, temperature and gas alert for home

4 commentaires

Update [17/02] – Project redesigned, look this following post.

Update [2/06] – I’m working on a wireless version

I’ll move in a new apartment very soon, and i have the idea for a new domotic project, ArduiHome, a Arduino Uno, GSM/GPRS Shield, some sensors to measure temperature, humidity, and gas.

The goal of this project is to display, on a LCD, the temperature from four areas.
Sending back temperature and/or humidity value via SMS (no needed at this moment).
Send an alert when town gas or carbon monoxide reach a critical level.
Drive a relay to turn on lighting, or heating system (no needed at this moment). Continuer la lecture de Ardui’Home, temperature and gas alert for home →
