I have an idea...where do i start?

Hi all. So i have an idea and high level design of something id like tp build. Brand new to Arduino but have novice coiding skills.

My question is: where can i learn about the Universe of modules available?

For example the device i want to design would be able to map a path travelled (gps?) As well as tiny changes in elevation, speed and detect bumps in its path.

Figuring there might modules that i can reference in my design.

Any 3D accelerometer will report bumps. A decent barometric pressure sensor, like the LPS25H, will report altitude accurate to a couple of meters, if it is frequently recalibrated (weather changes the air pressure).

The GPS provides position to +/- a few meters, altitude to +/- 50 meters, and speed information, but only outdoors where it has a clear view of the sky.

Spend some time getting each one working alone, and make sure the results make sense, that you understand the code and how it is supposed to work, before starting to add components together. Plenty of tutorials on line.

  • Why are you wanting to do this.

  • Suggest you master the basics before heading out on your marathon.

You should translate your high-level idea into a high-level program:
