This is a special kind of GPS tracker. It’s special because it uses something called LoRa, and it’s built with Arduino and ESP8266. LoRa is a technology that lets devices talk to each other over really long distances without using a lot of power. The transmitter part of our GPS tracker is a small device made of several SMD components parts. The main parts are a microcontroller called Atmega328, a LoRa Chip named SX1276 and an L80 GPS Module. The microcontroller is like the tracker’s brain, the LoRa Chip lets it send GPS location, and the GPS module shows the location with Latitude & Longitude. To save power, the device can go to sleep mode when it’s not being used, and it can be charged through a USB cable. We also made the receiver for this project using ESP8266 & SX1276 LoRa Module. The tracker sends the location information to a receiver that parses GPS data and the ESP8266 chip to connect to WiFi. This receiver then sends the location information to the Blynk app, which can show you where the tracker is on a Google map. This kind of tracker could be really useful for things like finding lost pets, keeping track of valuable items, or even in scientific research to track wildlife movements.
