Now add a feature to send a text to your bike and a simple relay to kill the ignition/spark plug fuse/circuit at will by sending an SMS. Bystanders generally ignore alarms and noise makers, but someone standing in the middle of the road with a vehicle that won't work gets lots of attention, and stranding a thief is a good way to get them to abandon the effort.

[@metatechnologist]

Actually the very next thing should be an open source app that can convert the long/lat to an address onto a map. Then a kill switch.

[@UpcycleElectronics]

I used to occasionally install some of the pro GPS alarm systems for a couple buy-here-pay-here used car dealers, and also used the alarms to do a few repos, years ago. Mapping coordinates is fairly easy with google. The problem is that GPS location fails many times when a triangulated cellular location will give better results (both are used on most high end pro systems). If I had a choice I'd prefer cellular triangulated location with its associated immobilization ability. If the vehicle is taken to a garage, or into a wooded, or hilly area the GPS system can be quite annoying. At least that was my experience when trying to quietly track down a car at 2-3am,.. on more than one occasion. When you've got a cellular system the versatility goes way higher because you can choose when and where to disable or target the problem. I've repo'd a guy's car in a small town when he went into the Walmart supercenter to shop. He had made violent threats, after getting several months behind on payments, and was being evasive by double parking to block any repo attempt at his home and work. That kind of versatility is priceless in my opinion. It lets you decide when, where, and how to limit confrontation with a potentially hazardous and threatening individual.

[@Guly1494]

Bike Jake thanks dude I'll try it on my car 🤔

[@blackkissi]

In the current setup can't receive SMS, because the Arduino output activates the MOSFET that gives the gsm module ground. You know what kills the power for ignition? A key.

[@UpcycleElectronics]

David Andersson​​ It would require a design alteration. There are many ways to short a spark plug circuit. You could send enough power to blow a fuse, short the plug to ground, or short the condenser capacitor just to name a few. Unfortunately on a bike it depends on the design. There are less options with a stator and mechanical ignition, but it is still very possible. I prefer to try to hide my security mods as much as possible. When it comes to anything with a fuel pump (not most bikes), I cut power to the fuel pump. The vehicle will still have power and will turn over but won't stay running after 1-3 min. Best of all, it strands a thief in the middle of the road or parking lot depending on how much fuel is in the lines and system. The cheapest and most effective anti theft solution is to simply hide an ignition kill switch completely out of sight and somewhere awkward to reach. The most important factor is to completely integrate the switch wiring into the factory wiring harness and make it look exactly like the factory did it. This is why most aftermarket alarm systems are a total joke. The monkeys that install them use tape and zip ties to hang most alarm systems under the driver's side dash. Every splice and alteration is extremely obvious. All anyone has to do is cut the wires to the main box, that will stop the noise maker. Then find the relay that always gets taped right next to the alarm under the dash. That's your ignition switch wiring cheat sheet. There's no need to learn how to bypass the factory ignition wiring when the alarm installer has already attached them to a relay that stands out like a hooker at Sunday Mass. The only thing left is the ignition key chip system installed by the factory. It's actually harder to figure out how to bypass the ignition on cars that don't have an alarm because all the wiring becomes much more confusing. The difficulty of finding what wires control the ignition are part of the security design from the vehicle manufacturer. Aftermarket alarms defeat this feature. Alarms are not not as great as they may first appear, but at the same time most of the people that are dumb enough to steal are not the brightest individuals.

[@peterbrown172]

I built one of those in 1995, long before anyone else had done it! I used a PIC 16F877. It had various modes & could handle secondary tracking by a control room & also allow immobilization of the vehicle being tracked by the chase team. There were quite a number of additional features. I tried to sell it but nobody understood what I had designed! Secondly, the cost of the components was high back then! Much simpler to do now with arduino & cheap gps units. Whole thing can be built cheaply now!

You should have it send battery status texts when it gets low as well

[@datalorian]

On-board air compressor next, never worry about your tire pressure again! Okay, that might be going slightly too far.

[@Gellis12]

Steve Plant Some offroaders have that! My car has an air compressor too, but you need to get out and fill the tire with it manually instead of just flicking a switch like you do in a hummer.

[@FadiFadi00]

I was gonna comment that and i saw your comment 😂

[@12chicoloco]

i never understan what you are doing yet i find it mesmerizing

[@PieterHarvey]

You can eliminate some false positives by modifying your Arduino code a little. That way if the wind blows the motorcycle or any "earth quakes" happen then it won't notify you. To do this, take a double GPS reading with a delay, if the two coordinates are the same the motorcycle has not moved and you don't need to send a message. If the two GPS coordinates are different each time then it means someone is moving your motorcycle. Should save on text messages even though they are cheap.

[@honkhonk8009]

Or we could have the cuircit on at all times and detect if the motorcycle moved a meter from its original location

[@niceashwin79]

Your projects are really practical 😊 but very high tech for novice like me. But always enjoy watching your innovations.

[@XPLOREanXPLODE]

If you get the mail function working (enable SSL) don't forget many mailservers do greylisting so you maybe have to send the mail a second time after some minutes. Nice project!

[@vlaskz]

This is just what I needed to make my trucks tracking. Also I needed a temperature sensor, so I’ve gone with thermocouple

[@larryjcp5437]

Excuse me, I'm also tracking buses, but my code doesn't change the coordinates when the arduino moves, it could help me.

To fix the server error for sending an email you must enable “less secure apps” access to the sending gmail account in the security setting of your google profile.

[@T0nl0s]

Wow, I just finished building my SMS GPS Tracker and now you upload your Video...Could habe saved me some Time, but now I learned so mich about AT Commands and Arduino Libaries. Keep it up!

[@jimdask]

to send email you need to enable ssl. there is a command for this

[@TrentSterling]

This right here!

[@ckkiockkio1148]

Also check if Gmail that you allow that action. Unsecured connections will be displayed on it and will not allow you to send stmp

[@g.z6161]

he also needs to allow less secure apps on his google account i found myself in the same position and got it working..

[@423tech]

If you log into the Gmail you created for testing and enable insecure devices, I bet your email notifications would start working. Great video!

[@Mr2011Sami]

hello, you always have a great videos. Here is my 2cents: 1. for gmail you will need a secuirty hash or enble you gmail with less secuire app enable. i will update with links. 2. for the penzo, just yse a 1M ohm in parallel with the sensor and your Analog pin. I will also update with link and example.

[@Mr2011Sami]

Go to your Google account settings and enable "Allow less secure apps" at the bottom of the page. There the app will only need email account and password. If you concerned about security, just use different account. myaccount.google.com/intro/security#activity

[@DoItAfterSmoking]

Dude you are a badass.. The engineering put into your projects is amazing. And they just keep getting better! Thank you Sir.

[@Unordung]

Great video as always Great Scott! A question / suggestion.... Is there a reason you couldn't set it up to send the gps coords if / when it receives an sms text message? It seems even more useful in that configuration as you are not reliant on the bike moving to pinpoint it's location. You could simply message the device and get a response as to its current or last known coords...

[@abdulrahmanmalik4403]

Exactly what I am thinking. Your approach is better! Here you are dependent on the sensor output to have the system triggered that means there is no way you could get the latest coordinates on demand.

[@mucholangs]

The sensor is better, because it alerts you as soon as the violation occurs. Imagine not knowing for days that your bike is gone. By then, the gps unit has probably been discovered.

[@narayanbandodker5482]

Doesn't the arduino(atmel chip) have a built-in comparator, thus eliminating an external one?

[@narayanbandodker5482]

A quick google search yields: gammon.com.au

[@Eggsr2bcrushed]

I would think it depends heavily on which atmel chip there is. Could look at pro mini, pro micro, and nano arduino chips.

[@narayanbandodker5482]

Eggsr2bcrushed you're probably right on that

[@ericcartmann]

The 328p (used in arduinos) have a comparator. Yes you could eliminate the external one. I have more experience with atmel studio than arduino, so I have no clue if you can do this in the arduino IDE, but you should be able to write base atmel code that lets you do this.

[@theq68]

Arduino is just a nice development environment for the atmel. The code is exactly the same and can be used in each other.

[@greatscottlab]

Yes, that was also possible.

[@cube_cup]

Actually, if they break into his house to steal the keys, this is safer. They don't expect this second feature so they'll just use the key switch from the bike itself despite heaving the key.

[@firefly618]

If they steal the bike they are probably going to force the main key into the ON position, either by breaking the cylinder with a screwdriver, making a contact, or lock picking. Having a second hidden key is the best solution. Even a simple hidden throw switch would have worked.

[@bernddasbrot231]

the ignition key on a simson is easy to "hack" with an 5.5mm flathead screwdriver, the system is very simple

isn't the piezo triggered by sound? wouldn't you be better off with an actual vibration sensor? i mean, you wouldn't like to get an sms as soon as you close the garage door a bit uncarefully or if someone whistles nearby. =)

[@TheTrisiP]

the sound (movement of air) would need to be very loud. at 5:00 he build a comperator to prevent this problem (in other words, a signal is only given when the shock/acceleration reaches a certain limit which is not reached just by sound)

That would require a bit more logic than that as GPS isn't necessarily the most accurate all the time. Even if the antennae is completely static, a GPS read 5 minutes apart could yield slightly different locations. P.S. *!= :)

How can you modify it to provide that info? 2) How can you provide for a way to recharge the battery without removing it? Or even better, eliminating the battery and replacing it with the vehicle's own battery? 3) This 3rd question is not related to this project in itself, but how about making a future video explaining the way to calculate the battery lifetime of a device without running for a few charge/discharge circles?

I think, the piezo would work on analog pin too, I remember creating a simple Arduino device. The harder you tapped the piezo, servo would move to certain position. If you tapped softly, servo would go to around 20, if you tapped super-hard, it would go to 180.

This is a great project and the battery life is good. What disturbs me though is the cost - I can buy a "smart" phone for £10 - granted it won't have the 60 day life or the shock sensor (well there is one built in, but I don't know enough to code a something to take advantage of that), but I could wire it up and have all the same features - plus the ability to make emergency calls if required...

Nice. I'm looking at doing something similar, but I need much less power drain. I'm probably going to use an ADXL362 accelerometer, which draws micro- or nano-amps, depending on how you use it. I think I will be able to set it up to power-off everything except the accelerometer until an acceleration threshold is reached, meaning battery life would be very very long.

Hi! "Great" project Scott, but did You know that the SIM5320 is a standalone platform with LUA support itself? You can drop the whole Arduino stuff and use the module itself as detector of interrupt events, You can read GPS info, send SMS, send data to server, etc... Less power consumption, more battery life. In addition, You can feed the SIM5320 directly from a Li-Ion cell, need no regulator! To save more power, You can use an ADXL345 acceleration sensor with programmable activity detection to wake up the module via interrupt event...

A Simson S51? Good choice, man. Bought myself one a few weeks ago. I also had something like this on my mind. Thanks for this video :)

[@VideonMedia]

this is a very smart project! If you can use WiFi to instead SIM card to not wast money, I will make one!

[@thebood4553]

you are amazingly creative ! always fun watching your videos.

Thumbs up for that beast with a 2-stroke engine :)

[@vkuolema79]

Awesome we used those modem modules back in the day .

[@VicOrlando]

This stuff you do is amazing. I don't have the patience but this is awesome! I have a few unused GPS units brand new I'd like to use for this.

GScott Motovlogs needs to be a thing!

[@salutoitoi]

Very good, I was looking for something like this but didn't know if it was worth it. Thank you !

[@greatscottlab]

You're welcome :-)

[@cw4608]

You are such a clever person - admirable!

[@TommyCallaway]

Very creative. Good work dude.

[@markelegeorge1322]

Just start watching the video and I already like it

[@GergoPiszi]

OMG that is a simson! I have not seen one for ages

[@PuchMaxi]

Nice project for my Zündapp CS 50 Mokick! (Fahrgestell-Typ: 448-01 L0, Baujahr: 1980.)

[@aneeeessshhh]

I will try this after my exams ends!

If you are using Gmail for email, you have to allow logging in from unsecure sources in your google account. I had the same issue when I tried to use my gmail in PHP script
