Pi Zero W GPS Tracker Logger Kit — Log Latitude/Longitude to CSV Every 30 Seconds

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

Turn the Raspberry Pi Zero W into a portable GPS data logger that silently records your trip coordinates into a CSV file on the SD card. With the NEO-6M GPS module connected over UART, this kit teaches you how to parse NMEA sentences and write latitude, longitude, time, and speed to disk — perfect for tracking hikes, vehicle routes, or field research.

What You'll Build

A self-contained GPS tracker that starts logging the moment you power it on. Once built, the Pi Zero W reads raw GPS data from the NEO-6M module, extracts location and time, and appends them to a CSV file every 30 seconds. The data can be opened in Google Earth, Excel, or any GIS tool — no cloud or internet required.

What You'll Learn

• Interfacing a GPS module via UART with Raspberry Pi GPIO
• Parsing NMEA 0183 sentences in Python to extract latitude, longitude, and time
• Writing time-stamped data to CSV files using Python's csv module
• Setting up a headless Pi Zero W and running scripts on boot
