GPRS + GPS + Adafruit MQTT + Solar Charging based GPS Tracker | ESP32 Projects | IOT Projects

This video will guide you with making your own GPS tracker over GPRS that runs on battery and also the battery get's charged with the Solar Panel connected with the board.

I have shown the demo by using Adafruit IO Cloud MQTT broker but you can use any MQTT broker for this.

What’s your thoughts on this project ???

Also I’m working on one more smallest iot tracker. Excited???

[ravirituraj]

Sachin, This is it... This was the project I was waiting for.
I requested for it earlier and here you are.
Thanks

[grottyboots]

Cool project! I think the "/csv" in the GPSTopic is setting the format to "Comma Separated Variables", since later in the transCoordinate function the coordinates are broken in to 4 values, separated by commas. Cheers!

As always, great video Sachin. may you could program the tracker to sleep before the battery dies, and activate when the battery level rises to a better level. Then manual reset would not be needed. i would like a LoRa Gps tracker for remote location tracking where no mobile coverage is available.

Hello,
I had a question. Since the charging IC works with both Type C USB and Solar panel, does connecting the solar panel and USB simultaneously have issues?
What I mean is, will the USB voltage flow into the solar panel and deteriorate the panel?

How to stream voice over internet using Arduino.Greatful to hear reply from you.Thank you in advance....

Sachin Find solar panel which works better for 18550 or similar, will be useful in future

Thank you for this video! I just want to ask on how to add switch here? I want to control a relay connected to my microcontroller. Thank you for your response.

Can you use websocket architecture using GPRS 🤔

TGO T-Call v1.3 ESP32 Wireless Module has gps ? and will it work as same as the one you are using

[codeblue]

I was really excited about this product but then seeing the battery issues you experienced really killed it for me. Having only 12 hrs of battery life on a li-ion is not that great.

Also having to press a switch is a massive problem. If the tracker is hidden in a vehicle it might not be possible to press the switch.

I see that lilygo has released an R2 or v1.2 version of this board. Maybe it has fixed those issues? Are you able to get one of these new versions to test?

Thanks for the good work

Can i use this code for ttgo t-call and NEO 6M gps module.. I will skip the solar battery part... Can i do that??

[TecSanento]

I am changing some parts of the sketch to transmit obd2 data to homeassistant using mqtt

[J-K-AG]

14th Feb is today. You are from the future my friend. And I'm watching this on a valentine's day. How sad!

[strackejosh]

Could you make a video on how to send GPS data to an API using JSON ?

[joniaguilar]

Hello, I need some help.
Is there any secret to make the modem wake up when using the battery?
my project only works connected to USB. When it's on battery, it runs all the code, without having to connect the modem. Modem leds never light up.

[Gerald-izmv]

hi whats the diff to the T-SIM7600G-H R2 from lilygo? is it a different version you used?

[rohitjawale]

Can we makeDIY 4 wheel IOT Camera car with this module?

i'm curious to know whether its support esp32cam

[elcoracaonino]

Esse projeto é incrível, vc teria link da biblioteca e board manager desse t7000 agradeço desde já obrigado.

Hi Sachin

Is This Project possible on a A9G Board?
