GSM & GPS Projects With Arduino

Build Exciting GSM & GPS Projects With Arduino

Have you ever wanted to build web-connected Arduino projects to monitor remote locations, like a countryside home or a mountain cabin? The problem is that those locations usually don't have a regular Ethernet or WiFi Internet connection, so you can't use the usual Arduino boards or shields to connect to the Internet. The solution is of course to use GSM/GPRS or 3G boards with Arduino, but they are usually complicated to setup and use.

What if there was an easy way to connect your Arduino projects to the Internet and the cellular network? Imagine what you could build if you could simply connect all your projects to the Internet, wherever you are, and also enjoy GPS location for your projects in the same time.

This is exactly what I wrote the GSM & GPS Projects With Arduino book. In this book, you will learn how to easily build exciting Arduino projects using GSM, GPRS & GPS technologies. Using the FONA board from Adafruit, I will show you step-by-step how easy it is to build connected projects, wether you are in your home or anywhere on the globe with a cellular network access.

In the first chapters of the book, we'll setup all the basic hardware and test its basic functions. You will for example learn how to send text messages, grab the content of a web page, and know your current location.

Then, we'll build exciting projects based on what we learned in the first part of the book. You will for example be building a data monitoring project that works via GSM or GPRS. You will also learn how to control devices like home appliances from anywhere in the world, and also how to build an Arduino GPS tracker.
