If you have a few hours to spare this weekend and fancy a project to increase your skills with Arduino, you might be interested in this Arduino powered car tracking system which has been featured ...

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

Now that tinkering has finally come to fruition with [Phang]’s TraLog shield, a single Arduino shield that combines GPS tracking with a GSM and GPRS transceiver.

The system uses an Arduino Uno, a GSM shield, a GPS module, and a few other smaller parts. The idea here is pretty simple: you hide the Arduino somewhere in the car, hook it up to the battery, and ...

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.

John Boxall, author of the new book Arduino Workshop, shares a few of the projects from his book on how to get started with the microcontroller. (Click the links to see PDFs of the complete ...

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.
