SUMMARY

The discussion centers on developing a device for tracking lost items such as purses and keys. For short-range tracking, RF transmitter/receiver technology is recommended, while GPS systems are suggested for long-range tracking despite their higher costs. Participants express a need for resources to learn about GPS and RF technology to implement their tracking solution. The conversation highlights the importance of selecting the appropriate communication technology based on the required distance for tracking.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of RF transmitter/receiver technology
  • Familiarity with GPS systems and their applications
  • Basic knowledge of electronic device integration
  • Experience with prototyping and hardware development
NEXT STEPS
  • Research RF transmitter/receiver modules for short-range communication
  • Explore GPS module options for long-range tracking solutions
  • Learn about integrating RF and GPS technologies into a single device
  • Investigate prototyping platforms such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi for development
USEFUL FOR

Inventors, electronics hobbyists, and developers interested in creating tracking devices for personal items will benefit from this discussion.

hi,
its is all about tracking lost things.
we have decided that we will make a device which can be put into things like purse ,keys e.t.c and we will be able to trace it if it gets lost.

but i don't have any idea how to approach for it and could you please suggest me technology which can be use to communicate between devices.

thanks

For how much distance your requirement is?

For near by distances you can RF transmitter/ Receiver will be enough, but if you are trying to make it remote, then a GPS system is needed but of course the cost will increase exponentially.

could you please get me some information ,from where i can learn how to work with GPS and transmitter/receiver?

thanks
