Asset Location Tracker Kit with Arduino Nano
Asset Location Tracker Kit with Arduino Nano — GPS, GSM, and SD Logging
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Track your valuables, vehicles, or remote assets in real time with a custom-built logger. This kit lets you build a GPS tracker that records precise location coordinates every 5 minutes onto an SD card and sends a daily summary SMS to any phone number, all powered by a rechargeable battery and housed in a waterproof enclosure.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a fully functional standalone tracker that acquires GPS coordinates from the NEO-6M module, timestamps them with the Arduino’s internal clock, appends each data point to a log file on the microSD card, and uses the SIM800L GSM module to dispatch an SMS digest once a day. The system runs on a rechargeable LiPo battery with power management, so it’s truly portable and deployable in the field.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing GPS (NEO-6M) and GSM (SIM800L) modules with Arduino Nano
- Implementing scheduled data logging to an SD card with timestamped records
- Managing power with a buck converter and LiPo battery charging circuit
- Sending automated SMS reports using AT commands over 2G networks

Who This Kit Is For
This intermediate kit is ideal for B.Tech ECE/EEE students working on GPS-based tracking projects, Smart India Hackathon participants building logistics or asset monitoring solutions, ATL-tinkering lab enthusiasts who want to move beyond basic Arduino, and IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS research assistants prototyping field-deployable location loggers. Even CBSE Class 11-12 students preparing for electronics competitions will find the build challenging yet rewarding.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to open the AI companion tuned for this tracker; it walks you through every connection and code line. You can also ping us on WhatsApp for human help the same day.
Do I need a SIM card with a data plan?
The SIM800L only needs SMS, so a basic Airtel, Vi, or BSNL SIM with an active SMS pack works. No data plan required.
How long will the battery last in the field?
With a 5‑minute log interval, the 2000mAh LiPo typically powers the tracker for 12–14 hours. You can extend runtime by increasing the logging interval or attaching a larger battery.
Can I view the GPS data on a map?
The SD card stores coordinates in CSV format. Import the file into Google Earth or any GIS software to see the complete travel path.
Asset — SIM800L GSM and NEO-6M GPS log position every 5 minutes to SD and send daily summary SMS report.
