Open source tracking system gets a Kickstarter


open-source-tracker
Many of the hacks featured here inspire others to build on the creator’s work, and on occasion the positive feedback brings the hack to market.
one original tracking device was powered by an Arduino, which monitored an accelerometer and GPS sensor, reporting coordinates and movements to his mobile phone on demand. so one person combined the disparate components together on a single board, and started a Kickstarter for the project.
Aside from his original purpose of tracking stolen goods, he lists off an array of other uses, such as tracking the driving habits of your newly licensed teen, geofencing objects in certain areas and more.
If an SMS controlled all-in-one tracking system is something you might be interested in, check out his Kickstarter, or take a look at the documentation and build one of your own.
