I'm building a Bike tracking web application and app for that i built a prototype with NEo 6m , esp8266 and SIM 800L. But comparing to other devices they had a simple PCB . I want to do the same for this project since i'm from a softaware background i'm not sure how to do it.Also i looks for the pre built one where i can code the device to send the data to my own server i could not find.
Please suggest , How can i convert my Proptotype to Real product or prebuilt one
Save yourself a lot of pain and trouble, and hire a professional to design the PCB. The design files are sent off to a PCB fab, some of which can even populate the board with parts.
The result will probably be more expensive than simply buying a GPS tracker.
The SIM 800 is getting REALLY old now (2G old), I suggest a 76xx or similar for two reasons…
The 7600 have GPS within the same chip, and. also have spare CPU resources - maybe enough to implement your whole project - and they’re. 4G compatible.
There may be enough resources to implement your whole project in a single chip on a simple board..
