GPS Tracker Using NEO 6M and ESP-12

The below code outputs current co-ordinate and speed in km/hr . The code is a first draft and there are optimizations to be done. It uses a Ublox NEO 6M for the GPS module and an ESP-12 (of the ESP 8266 family) for the collecting the GPS data from the NEO 6M module, processing the… Continue reading GPS Tracker Using NEO 6M and ESP-12

ESP8266 Programming Using Arduino IDE

The ESP8266 can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. The best part is the codes are similar to Arduino. To start programming a ESP8266 using Arduino IDE follow the below steps Prerequisites Arduino 1.6.8, get it from Arduino website. Steps Start Arduino and goto File-> Preferences.
