So this Lazy Old Geek (L.O.G.) hasn’t been able to do an Instructable for a few years. At 70 years old, the brain doesn’t work as well as it used to and it’s hard to focus on big projects let alone try to write about them. (I am entering Arduino Contest.) But with the help […]

What do you do when someone is chasing you or you are lost? Cross your fingers? Don’t. When you are in trouble, just cross your feet [in a special way] and your location is sent to your family members. Wait there’s more! Even the family can get your location just by calling the shoe. When you call the SIM in

Once the purview of strictly military operations, GPS has become a regular part of modern living and in relatively short time! Who wouldn’t want want to know when and where they are anywhere on the planet? It’s a science fiction dream brought into reality, one now so woven into our lives it seems almost trivial.

Global positioning system (GPS) synchronised clocks give accurate time. These clocks are universal and commonly used at railway stations, bus stands and airports. These are widely used for military purposes too. Here we describe a GPS clock based on Arduino Uno R3—an AVR ATmega328-based microcontroller board with six analogue inputs pins and 14 digital input/output
