GPS-Based Wireless & Encrypted Object Tracking

A wireless object-tracking system I designed and built single-handedly as a first-year student — as a senior's graduation project. This is where I made my first XBee link.

GPS-Based Wireless & Encrypted Object Tracking

Overview

A GPS-based system that tracks an object's location wirelessly and encrypted. The interesting part: as a first-year student, before I had even taken the relevant courses, I designed and built this single-handedly as a graduating senior's capstone project. It was my first paid job — it earned my first pocket money.

How It Works

I read standard GPS location data in C# and passed it to an Arduino Mega; I transmitted it wirelessly and encrypted to the other side (Arduino Uno) via XBee modules and showed it on a screen. On the desktop side (.NET WinForm) I rendered the incoming location in a visual interface. This is where I first built and ran end-to-end XBee wireless communication.

Outputs & Why It Matters

A working, end-to-end wireless tracking system, delivered as a graduation project. Building a senior's capstone before taking the courses showed early on that I could handle hardware + embedded + desktop software together. The source is open on GitHub.
