Components:
1. GPS Module (Arduino Nano or Raspberry Pi): This module tracks the car's location using the Global Positioning System (GPS) and sends location data back to the user.
2. GSM/GPRS Module (SIM800L): This module allows the car tracker to communicate with a mobile network. It sends location data and other information to the user's phone or a central server.
3. Microcontroller (Arduino Uno): The Arduino Uno controls the entire system. It receives location data from the GPS module, processes it, and sends it to the GSM/GPRS module for transmission.
4. Power Supply (Battery): A 12V battery provides power to the car tracker system.
5. Voltage Regulator (LM7805): This component regulates the voltage from the battery to provide a stable 5V supply to the Arduino Uno and GPS module.
6. LED Indicators: These LEDs show the status of the system, such as power, GPS signal reception, and GSM/GPRS connection.
7. SIM Card: This card is inserted into the GSM/GPRS module to enable cellular communication.
8. Antenna (GPS and GSM): These antennas receive GPS signals and transmit location data over the GSM network.
9. SD Card (Optional): An SD card can be used to store location data for later retrieval.
This simplified diagram illustrates the basic components of a car tracker system. To ensure the system's proper functioning and reliability, additional components such as voltage converters, capacitors, switches, and sensors may be required based on specific needs and the technology used.
