Description
Summary:Free2Move AB is developing products for the market within wireless communication and identification, among those active RFID-tags. The company had an idea about providing one of their active RFID tags with a GPS receiver and transmit positions via an existing RFID protocol. Desire from the company was also the possibility to log positions and measure temperature. The finished prototype should also be able to be activated by movement. The company had proposal about components that were to be used in the project. A large part of the work was to understand how these worked and how to combine them to fulfill the requirements established in agreement with supervisor at Free2Move. A PIC microcontroller was used in the design of the prototype and software implemented for communication with GPS, RFID tag and other components. The result was a working prototype where an existing RFID tag was integrated in the same printed circuit board layout as the GPS receiver and other components that were used in the project.
