Pocket GPS

Abstract

1. Introduction

in this project, with the help of GPS Neo-6M, We receive and display the values of Altitude, Latitude, Longitude, and Speed. also using TFT LCD I created a beautiful user interface for it.

2. Objective

Simple project w/ GPS Neo-6m and ESP32

This project demonstrates how C++, ESP32 can be applied to a real-world Internet of Things (IoT) problem.

3. Key Features / Modules

• Altitude
• Latitude, Longitude
• Number of Satellite

4. Technology Stack

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

• Arduino IDE / PlatformIO or a C++ compiler (g++)
• Target board (e.g. Arduino, ESP32) where applicable
• Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/cifertech/Pocket-GPS.git
cd Pocket-GPS

1. GPS Neo-6M
2. TFT Lcd st7735
3. In Arduino IDE, go to File > Preferences
4. Enter URLs Additional Boards Manager URLs field. Then, click the “OK”
5. Follow this path Sketch> Include Library> Manage Libraries
6. Search for Adafruit_ST7735 and TinyGPS++
7. Install the library

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Add a mobile dashboard using Blynk or Firebase
• Store readings in a cloud database for history charts
• Add alerts via SMS / Telegram when thresholds are crossed

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Which microcontroller / board and sensors are used and why?
2. How does the device send data (Wi-Fi, MQTT, HTTP, Bluetooth)?
3. Where is the sensor data stored and visualised?
4. How is power consumption managed?
5. How would you secure the device and its communication?
