Hi,
I am willing to build a vehicular tracking system being able to track and control a vehicle from distance usibg GPRS. I thought of using a GM862 module (with sim board) and a Sirf-StarIII, a PIC- p28 development board with RS232 interface and a tranceiver antena, BUT, PIC-p28 is for low power applications and I think it wouldn't be able e.g to power off the engine of the vehicle. Instead I thought of using an AVR Arduino but it has no RS232 interface. Any ideas how I can interface them? Should I use CAN mode?
I 'd appreciate any help
Thanks You a lot
