Resources and Going Further

Now that you've explored all the aspects of the Motion Shield, it's time to duct tape the Thing to your cat to see just where they really go at night. I hope you don't really do that, but if you wanted to, these links may help you get closer to your goal.

Copernicus II Hookup Guide

A guide for how to get started with the Copernicus II GPS module.

Alphanumeric GPS Wall Clock

This is a GPS controlled clock - a clock you truly never have to set! Using GPS and some formulas, we figure out what day of the week and if we are in or out of daylight savings time.

GPS Differential Vector Pointer

Use GPS to have two objects, a base and a target, point towards one another. This can be used to aim a directional antenna (or in the case of this project, a laser) from one object to the other object at a distance that is only limited by your ability to provide the base station with the target's GPS location.
