Hi there,

I have an Arduino Mega 2560, and i want to place it in my car along with some limit switch's and some sensors.

The thing is i want a shield that would send the location of my car to a website DATABASE that i build. i also want it to send the information that the SENSORS will gather from the car status.

I am not sure which shield is best to use, but i need it to send these information and then the database will collect them and add them to their specified fields.

Thanks :D

I got the GPS/GPRS/GSM Module V3.0 shield and i was able to send messages to my phone. However, when i want to get the GPS location of the board, i't wont show it.

I used the code offered in your wiki titled "How to drive the GPS Mode via Arduino board", then i connected my Arduino MEGA 2560 board to the USB cable and a power supply of 9V.

the board and shield LED's flash's yet nothing happens, i even tried to go outside and try to get a good signal, still nothing. I even have alot of  credit in the SIM card that i am using.

here is an image of the output i got.


Here is the output itself


[font=Verdana]AT[/font][font=Verdana]AT+CGPSPWR=1AT+CGPSRST=1$GPGGA statement information: UTC:ovfLat:ovfDir:,Lon:ovfDir:,Alt:ovf  UTC:144015.09Lat:ovfDir:,Lon:ovfDir:,Alt:ovf  UTC:144021.09Lat:ovfDir:,Lon:ovfDir:,Alt:ovf

Thanks :D [/font]

What about this:

You want to send it real time?
As for the car status, you can look up this product OBD:

If not, you can use a SD card and store the data and upload it later to the website. But the gprs module seems to be a nice choice for uploading data. There is an example on Git on uploading to a website.

Cheers!
