Pet GPS Collar Tracker Plus Kit – Log Every Adventure with Arduino Nano, Then See the Path on a Map

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Ever wonder where your pet goes when they slip out of sight? This kit lets you build a collar‑mounted GPS tracker that silently records every location to a microSD card at one sample per second. Back home, you pull the card, run a single Python script, and see the entire journey plotted on a satellite map. No mobile network, no monthly fees — just raw, replayable tracking data you can analyze, share, or use to improve your neighbourhood walks.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble a compact Arduino Nano circuit that reads coordinates from a NEO-6M GPS module, attaches a precise timestamp from the DS3231 real-time clock, and writes each entry to a microSD card. Two LEDs give immediate status: power and log indicator. After a walk, you’ll extract the file, connect to your laptop, and run a provided Python script to generate a beautiful map of the route — perfect for understanding your pet’s behaviour or even for a school project on wildlife tracking.

What You'll Learn

• Interfacing a GPS module over serial and parsing NMEA sentences to extract latitude, longitude, and time
• Reading and writing data to a microSD card using the SPI protocol with an Arduino Nano
• Using a DS3231 RTC to timestamp data even when the device is unpowered for a while
• Post‑processing logged CSV data in Python to generate interactive HTML maps with Folium

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This intermediate kit perfectly suits CBSE Class 11–12 students taking up electronics or computer science practicals, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates looking for a real‑world embedded project, and participants in the Smart India Hackathon or ATL Tinkering Lab challenges. It’s also a great pick for curious pet parents with a technical bent — anyone who wants to move beyond blinking LEDs and build something that actually logs data outdoors.

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.
