Extracting GPS info using Arduino


In my previous post, I explained some basic concepts about GPS, how it works, how information is encrypted into it and how to understand the code that we receive through it etc. But always to receive these codes, sit down and decrypt it ourselves will be a tedious task. If we have a GPS module … Continue reading Extracting GPS info using Arduino

Interpreting GPS


Basic intro to how GPS works: A GPS module receives data from different satellites(24 satellites are orbiting the earth for this purpose). GPS calculates the distance between the receiver and the position of three or more satellites to zero in on the position of the receiver. This is a simple way of explaining how a … Continue reading Interpreting GPS

Arduino: A new platform


Arduino is the first of it’s kind – An open-source electronics prototyping platform fit for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone who would like to mess with electronics and make some interactive environments or objects. Arduino has been developed in Italy by the Arduino Team: Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis. … Continue reading Arduino: A new platform
