Good for tracking my children, but I wonder can you make the aerials larger would you get even better range, so are the aerials half-wave 1/4 wave or full wave?, but loved the video, a good project well done this could be turned into a product for sale.
Sorry but I'm not that much familiar with antenna design so I can't tell. These are just the default antennas that come with the modules. With better antennas, there will definitely be better coverage.
That's very interesting approach. I love to see if you can put together an integrated broad with everything on it for USA frequency. Currently your project is fine for human because of the size. But, it's not ideal for small dog that I have. I am looking forward to see how you can take it to next level. Thank you for your video.
Great video! How to use this module but in such a way that it takes the smallest space possible. The module being small has an advantage which is negated by the board it has to be on. Any way to trim it down?
You define your own placement. The only limitation that you have for the carrier board is that it must not have a ground plane underneath it. This is so that it does not interfere with the GPS signal.
Excellent !! Thanks for the video and details. Please provide Fritzing circuit diagram for both Transmitter and Receiver modules. That will be a great help in doing R&D studies. I am using RYLR998 LoRa module and RYS8833 GPS module.
Connection is very simple. You can see it from the Arduino code where it is written what pin connects to what. Also each module has its own separate video on the channel.
hi i got a question, you mentioned that latitude and longitude gets translated in the carrier, wouldn't it be possible to translate it in the receiver to reduce space for a dog? im trying to see if i can adapt something for a dog
Sir, I have soldered, the input of the GPS module to the Vin pin of the NodeMCU but the GPS module is still not powered on. What should I do? When I power the GPS module separately through USB, it comes on.
When transmitting, they use up to 140mA of current and while receiving around 17mA. If put to sleep, it only uses 10uA so there are applications where you can make a use case optimized for battery usage.
Nice project. However u still need internet connection on the receiver side because of the app. Is there any way that you can pre-download the maps and run the app without requiring internet connection? Thanks
Thanks! Yes, it is possible to have offline maps on the phone but the app will need to be built in that way. I'm not that good with mobile app development but it should be possible.
Great proyect!. How to identify between lora adapters?? How to idenfify two lora adapters to send and receive data to specifics lora adapter? In two codes not show nothing respect this. identify how? MAC Address maby? how? Thanx for response.
You don't need two adapters but when sending you can specify the address of the adapter that you want to send data to. Yhe addresses are just integers from 1 to 255. You can see this in the example code that I provided.
Thanks! ESP32 and ESP8266 are basically interchangeable. You will just need to replace the pin numbers in the code with whatever you connect the modules to and you should be good to go. I haven't tried this myself, but it should be fairly straightforward.
Hello Sir, I have a final year project, which i think is very similar if not exactly what you did because i am not good at mobile development as well. The project is as follows and i will really love your help and assistance with everything as you did yours Project: Design and implementation of a wireless communication platform using IOT: an application for animal tracking. Looking forward to your reply and help. Thank you very much
Everything about the project is open sourced and public so feel free to ise it as base for yours. Other than that, I really don't have the time to help on any other way. If you bave a specific questions, feel free to drop them in.
@@TasteTheCode Thank you very much. I tried getting the app but it says my version of android is not supported. Also I wish to have a clearer image of the hardware connections (to see how things are connected on the breadboards) and a list of everything used please, I really need it. I am sorry if it is too much to ask but the I will also be grateful having the application's codes. Please I really need them as the basis of mine because I do not know where to start with this. Thank you very very much
I did not built the app so I can't really help you there. You can find the details for it here: ua-cam.com/video/u0pzo9lmS90/v-deo.html and here: ua-cam.com/video/jKTF34ZZt1I/v-deo.html As for the connections, you have all of them in the code. Just look at what pins the serial communication is initialized and you should be able to connect in the same way. In the video description there is already a list of everything used.
Hi Taste The Code Thank you for sharing I realised this project with a BN220 GPS. The requested frame can be read from the serial port of the transmitter in the following form 43.xxxxxx,7.xxxxxx| on the serial port of the receiver I receive the frame in the following form +RCV=1,19,43.xxxxxx,7.xxxxxx|,-19,11 I hope that's what is asked ! When I plug the receiver into my cellphone's OTG and open the Arduino ESP32 GPS Maps app a map opens with the position of my cell phone but it is not the correct position it indicates a place in the United States but I live in France! and I don't see the position of the GPS module. Does this app work worldwide? Please help me. I want to use this project to find my RC glider when it is lost. Thank you
Hey, yes so the app works worldwide but it only works with the very specific data string on the serial port. You need to send it to the phone with just the longitude and latitude as per the example.
@@J.Navelosure, this is the link: github.com/Zdravevski/arduino-gps-visualization/blob/main/serial_communication/serial_communication.ino It is my friend @SlavkosHobbyChannel that built the app so maybe he can also help you out. The format is like this: 41.037806805413965,21.34574775323119| with a | at the end which is very important.
@@TasteTheCode Thank you for your help. I used Slavko's example on an Arduino Uno the serial port displays the GPS coordinates but when I launch the application on my SAMSUNG S6 edge via OTG cable nothing happens just a blue icon which is the position of the cell phone in a place in the USA but I am in France and then the map becomes small and shows the world map and then nothing happens! What is the problem ? Thanks for the help
@@J.NaveloI checked the problem, and it was again Android (Google) changed something in their policies, so I fixed the problem, and I will send an update for review 🙂
The first time I just read about these chips is today and I have a great idea for this technology
They are very versatile and useful. What do you want to make with them?
I've been needing something just like this. Please keep on with the development of this great project. Fantastic work, thank you
Thanks for the encouragement and for the kind words! 👍👍👍
Thanks for good video.
Thank you! 👍👍👍

Thank you! Getting things working was the first step. Now the GPS receiver is small enough but making everything small enough will be a challenge.

Hey I don't know when I'll have the time to do that but you can work out the connections easily based on the code which is available for both devices.
Hi, is it possible to have the drawing of the electrical connections?
there is so much confusion and so many words
Connection is very simple. You can see it from the Arduino code where it is written what pin connects to what. Also each module has its own separate video on the channel.
Hi! great video! Id love to know, are there any schematics, diagrams or an instructional video available on how you actually you built it?
Not directly but all code is published so you should easily figure out the connections based on that as pins are referenced in it.
@@TasteTheCode 😀Thanks so much for replying! Yes, that would be just as helpful. Do you know where I can find the code? Is there a GitHub link?
Yes, the link is in the video description.
Great, thank you so much!@@TasteTheCode
I like your products
Thank you!
hi i got a question, you mentioned that latitude and longitude gets translated in the carrier, wouldn't it be possible to translate it in the receiver to reduce space for a dog? im trying to see if i can adapt something for a dog
You must have the receiver on the dog in order to track it. Otherwise, there is no way to know where it is.
Yes good product
Thanks! 👍👍👍
Please specify BOM aswell
Everything is linked in the description.
Hello sir, I can't find a 3.6k resistor which you used. what can I do now?
Just use 3×1.2k will give you 3.6k 1.2 k are easy to find it's a preferred value, hope that helps
Sir, I have soldered, the input of the GPS module to the Vin pin of the NodeMCU but the GPS module is still not powered on. What should I do?
When I power the GPS module separately through USB, it comes on.
Vin is 5V. You need to use the 3.3v pin
@@TasteTheCode i mean to power on the GPS EVB board. I see you soldered the input of the EVB and connected it to the Vin pin of the NodeMCU
Yes, that is correct. Did you also connected GND together? If you did this right, there is no chance that the module won't power on.
@@TasteTheCode Yes I did connected the GND. it finally came on. My problem now is the why the nodemcu is not reading the gps or detecting it
How battery hungry are these chips? For wireless?
When transmitting, they use up to 140mA of current and while receiving around 17mA. If put to sleep, it only uses 10uA so there are applications where you can make a use case optimized for battery usage.

How much power do you need for the one mounted on the bike? I hope to power it from batteries instead of power banks. Thanks!
Not much at all. The GPS module is designed to be low power and you will be better off with batteries. I used a power bank just for convenience.
Hello There ! Great project. Could you please let me know how to assemble the same with ESP32 instead of using NodeMCU ESP8266? Thanking you.
Thanks! ESP32 and ESP8266 are basically interchangeable. You will just need to replace the pin numbers in the code with whatever you connect the modules to and you should be good to go. I haven't tried this myself, but it should be fairly straightforward.
@@TasteTheCode Thanks for your reply.
what if i want to make it multiple transmitter and single receiver ? can you guide me please? Thank you
You will need to figure out a way of identification of your devices so each received location can be known from what device it is.

Welcome!
Saly that's mostly useless unless there's a view path between the radios.
That is not true. LoRa can work on some distance even if there is no clear view path. Yes distance is reduced but still usable.
@@TasteTheCodeYes, works on a distance that's so short is also useless.
