Asset Location Tracker Kit with Arduino Nano + LED
Asset Location Tracker Kit with Arduino Nano + LED – Real‑Time SMS Location Alerts
Every part needed, pre‑tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3‑5 days.
Build a portable device that locks onto satellites, grabs live coordinates, and pushes them out as an SMS with a clickable Google Maps link — every 5 minutes — without any internet. Whether you are securing a two‑wheeler, tracking a school project robot, or prototyping an asset monitoring system for a hackathon, this kit gives you the complete hardware stack in one box.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a self‑contained GPS tracker powered by a rechargeable LiPo battery. The NEO‑6M module acquires latitude, longitude, and altitude; the SIM800L sends that data over GSM as a plain text SMS that includes a direct Google Maps link. The 0.96‑inch OLED screen shows real‑time status, and the on‑board buck converter keeps power stable even when the battery voltage drops. The result is a dependable, always‑on location beacon you can slip into a bag or mount on any moving asset.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing GPS modules over UART and parsing NMEA sentences for position data
- Sending AT commands to the SIM800L GSM module to initiate and deliver SMS messages
- Designing reliable power systems using a LiPo cell, TP4056 charger, and LM2596 buck converter
- Displaying live tracking status on an I2C OLED screen with the Arduino Nano

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for CBSE Class 11‑12 students building a physics or computer science project, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates working on IoT and communication mini‑projects, and Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping an offline asset tracker. It also suits ATL tinkering labs that need a real‑world GSM+GPS experiment without relying on Wi‑Fi or cloud platforms.
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 kit box to launch the AI build companion for step‑by‑step visual guidance. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for one‑on‑one troubleshooting with our support engineers.
Do I need a separate SIM card for the tracker?
Yes. The SIM800L module requires a 2G‑active SIM card (Airtel, Vodafone Idea, BSNL) with an SMS plan. Insert it into the module before powering up.
Can I adjust the SMS interval from 5 minutes?
Absolutely. The Arduino sketch is fully editable. The AI companion will help you locate the delay variable and change the interval to any time you want.
Does the tracker need internet or Wi‑Fi to work?
No. It uses GPS for positioning and GSM for SMS, so it works anywhere there is mobile network coverage — no internet connection required.
Asset — NEO-6M GPS and SIM800L send location SMS every 5 minutes. Google Maps link in SMS shows position.
