Tracker enables GPS-based IoT projects to easily develop location-tracking solutions

Now in stock at Mouser is the Wio Tracker from Seeed Studio. The Wio Tracker is an open source gateway that allows for faster GPS solutions for the IoT by tracking nearly any moving thing and uploading that data wirelessly. The tracker is an Arduino-compatible development board that integrates Bluetooth 3.0 and GPRS into a single board for quickly and easily developing location-tracking solutions. The GPRS feature provides a moderate bandwidth which allows immediate interaction between the user and device. The tracker is based on the low-power Microchip SAM D21G ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller with 256kb of flash and 3kb of SRAM. The board features a space-saving Nano SIM/microSD socket, as well as six user-friendly Seeed Grove connections that enable any combination of Grove system sensors and actuators, which can simplify the prototyping and development phase. For added speed and flexibility, the tracker features 99 GNSS receiver channels for quicker lock times. The board also offers a GNSS low power mode, which can reduce power consumption by up to 40%.
