I just mentioned this on another thread in The Watering Hole, but I was on Missile Works web site the other day and noticed he has a listing for a new GPS tracker called the T3 System. Has anyone else seen this or talked to Jim about it? According to the description it's based on the open source project that Derek posted here a few years back (I built a couple of these): https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?53120-Rocket-Track-Open-Source-GPS-Tracker-for-Smartphones, and uses the core components of his RTx system. You'll need a Bluetooth enabled device to track, but looks like a good, affordable option. Not available yet - hopefully soon?
Here's the blurb from the webpage:
The T3 Tracker System (Tiny Telematics Tracker) is a simplified and scaled down version of our RTx/GPS system. Even though the T3 system is our lower cost "Buy and Fly" tracker system, it still uses the same proven core components as its big brother RTx, specifically:
- uBlox7 GPS Engine
- 1/4 watt XBee Radio Modems
- HC-06 Bluetooth Module
The T3 system relies on your Bluetooth ready Android device and uses any NMEA/Bluetooth stream reading Android app (Blue GPS / Rocket Track / Rocket Locator) which are all available in the Google Play Store. The T3 system is based upon the original "Rocket Track" open hardware project.
Your XBee radios come pre-configured for private networking operation as we manage all radio network ID's just like we do for our RTx systems.
Forgot to add a link to the webpage for those interested: https://www.missileworks.com/store/#!/T3-GPS-Telematics-Tracking-System/p/90226446/category=19848147
