Know the location of your vehicle, anywhere in the world!
Introduction
Looking for a way to easily track your car, bag, pet or anything that might move? Here is a convenient solution involving a DIY IoT device. GPS Tracking has been in use for almost 4 decades already. It was opened to the public during the 1980’s. A GPS tracking unit is a device, normally carried by a moving vehicle or person, that uses the Global Positioning System to determine and track its precise location.
The GPS Board
The onboard SIM808 module includes an integrated quad-band GSM/GPRS and GPS satellite navigation module, and a 4 layer PCB integrates the microcontroller, microphone, headphone jack and GPRS/GPS, giving this board the tiny footprint of a regular credit card! Meanwhile, the board includes a sleep mode feature for extra-low power consumptionComponents

What does this Location GPS Tracker Meeo IoT tutorial cover?
Know the location of your vehicle, anywhere in the world! Introduction Looking for a way to easily track your car, bag, pet or anything that might move? Here is a convenient solution involving a DIY IoT device.
What's the working voltage of the Location GPS Tracker Meeo IoT?
Check the Sample Code section for the exact pinout — most maker-grade sensors run on 3.3V or 5V. Wire VCC to the matching rail, GND common with your MCU, data to a digital or analog pin.
Why does the Location GPS Tracker Meeo IoT read garbage or saturated values?
Three usual causes: wrong voltage rail, missing pull-up resistor on I2C lines (4.7k–10k to VCC), or a floating data pin. Double-check wiring against the diagram, then probe with a multimeter.
