I think you need some air in your back tire...

[@greatscottlab]

True

[@szymon6684]

I see good ? this is simson s51?

[@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 😂

[@UpcycleElectronics]

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.

[@UnverifiedMods]

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

[@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!

[@tygo9500]

What about sending an sms to the unit and get the GPS location back?

[@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

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

Will this send that text message over and over again if the vehiche is moving for hours? You will get your received SMS full!

[@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.

[@squalazzo]

have you enabled "less secure apps" in your google account? without this setting, you'll never send email using gmail, and you get those server error... and, better using a dedicated account to send them, to not "relax" security on your main one... support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en

Nice idea, I wanted to buy one... But maybe I build one myself now ;D My only prob right now would be the Aduino script... Would have to learn that somehow... But I wouldnt make it self triggering, but sending a SMS with the GPS data when you send an SMS to the Device... :D

[@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

[@npip99]

You could get so much more life out of it if you had the motion sensor activate a flip flop that controlled the arduino's voltage. Then the Arduino could "sleep" by turning the flip flop off and deactivating itself. That way there's no 3.5 mAh usage, it's just 0. 60 days is a rather annoying interval to replace batteries.

[@BEdmonson85]

I would add a way to poll the gps via text messaging so that if somehow it still got stolen and you didn't get a notice, you could still query the gps coordinates whenever you like. Other than that I really enjoyed this video. Take care!

[@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.

[@RaviPujar]

Thanks for the Peizo Idea. Its low cost compared to accelerometer. But, I used accelerometer though in my GPS tracker VALTRACK-V2 (Still under development). Accelermoter sensor has a motion trigger feature which i am configuring and using to send SMS or push notifications when someone moves vehicle. Had a question, Does SIM5320E work in Singapore also? Has anyone used SIM5320E in Singapore?

[@annemariemiguel2541]

[@TheMsksk]

After watching your videos I feel ashamed at what a lousy engineer I am.

[@JerryEricsson]

I just wonder, is that capable of two way communications, for instance, say the bike is stolen, you get you notification, but then have to wait a set period of time for the next, if it is two way, perhaps a routine that would trip an intercept if it received a signal from your phone to send the local again, so one could trace that bike as it goes down the street?

[@patig.9328]

hey you have a Simson s51 you must make a Video abuot it

[@greatscottlab]

Correct

[@anonym7500]

+Darren DIY I think that he lives in Germany

[@LiamTronix]

Why did you remove the arduino's 5V regulator? If you're supplying it with 5V directly from the external 7805, wouldn't the regulator be inactive anyway?

[@brunselltorp]

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)

[@brunselltorp]

ok, thanx for teaching me something new! =)

[@JosephAlukka]

Have you noticed loud exhausts of cars and bikes setting off alarms ? The same is applicable here, it just needs to be loud enough or it wont be a trigger.

[@cymeriandesigns]

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.

[@PSNCyberTerror]

LOVE IT!

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.

[@minecrafter9099]

you need to enable less secure apps on gmail so you can use "normal" smtp

[@greatscottlab]

But I received an IP address while trying to send the Email. You can even see it in the video. So I don't think that was the problem.

[@VictorChristopherOng]

[@borstenpinsel]

gmail is nitpicky with authentication. maybe thast's the issue. a basic mail lib that doesn't offer everything required. I could never connect to my gmail account from PHP either.

[@radekwysocki7875]

if you'd like i could write a PHP wrapper so it would report location to website and display it on gmaps. and yeah gmail sucks for diy projects, emails get blacklisted ect.

[@Hungarianscene]

Gmail is working fine, but you need to activate it separately! First you need the two factor authentication on your account then you can make a second password for your (custom) application!

[@elissitdesign]

Two things: 1 put more air in your tires 2 after the device is tripped the code should compare GPS values to see if the bike has been moved to avoid false alarms. A large trash truck, fast car whizzing by or someone bumping the bike would all be issues. Nice video nonetheless.

[@pacman10182]

isn't there an acc line on the bikes key switch? couldn't you use that instead of the another separate key switch?

[@greatscottlab]

Yes, that was also possible.

[@deldarel]

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]

[@ianholleman6234]

I don't know if you did or not, but you should use something like this to avoid excessive sms messages: if newGPS =/= oldGPS { sendmessage() }

[@JacobZigenis]

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. *!= :)

[@dg0mg]

Bei 8:17 baust du die GPS-Antenne *VERTIKAL* neben den Luftfilter ins S51 ein und setzt danach auch noch den *BLECH*deckel drüber. Das reduziert die Empfindlichkeit des GPS um Größenordnungen (auch wenns vielleicht funktioniert). Stell Dir vor, der "Ernstfall" tritt ein und Du bekommst nur SMS ohne Positionsangaben, weil das GPS keinen Fix findet. Dann war der ganze Aufwand umsonst.

@GreatScott! The email didn't work because you have to allow "less secure apps" in your google accounts settings. If you have 2-step auth then you can create an App Password instead from the google settings. support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en

SMTP over GSM 'was' a nice feature - but I think now it is deprecated. I have developed a GSM to SMTP bridge on Dialog Ideamart Telco APIs. But it is not at all popular. I think people no longer expect that kind of feature on their feature phones. It is like the Microsoft tab - never took off.

[@ReadySetShoot]

Love your videos bro, However your Instructions arent too clear on every step. I have purchased every thing needed to replicate this build however you are skipping over a few things (probably for time) think you can help me out by breaking down each step? We can email if you would like! Thanks!

[@amyshaw893]

hey Scott. i am going to Berlin soon, and wondered if you had any recommendations for interesting places to go? if you like a place, I'll probably like it to

[@bernddasbrot231]

try the Siegessäule, the Brandenburger Tor, the whole city is worth to see

[@amyshaw893]

Cool, thanks

Hello greatsscott, Your smtp problem is because your isp block the port 25 (smtp) for avoid spam. Just use SMTPs who use other port or the smtp relay of your data provider :) Who's want a second part with data usage :)

My cousin is his alarm company leader and he got my dad very similar system but without GPS. This system was for bee "hotel" (as my parents call it). It sends a message if: battery is low, door of the "hotel" is opened or closed , or the system detects a vibration/shake.

I have Samsung series 6 smart tv with broken screen. Everything still works. What can I salvage from this and make something interesting ? Remote. Wi-Fi. Raspberry. Stereo speakers. Tuner.

The server error that you recive while using the SMTP method its that your email provider "GMail" uses an authentication method that you need to instert on the browser. The best way to use that SMTP method on the arduino is to make an SMTP server by yourself... Or disable the secure login from your gmail account.

What is the use of micro usb port in sim5230 module as it is not for power ? Can you help me out

[@finn14537]

Great work, i was thinking to build something similar for my bicycle. Would it be possible react on incoming sms? I would try to use the power supply of the lights. Use case: Bike is stolen, I send an SMS to the simcard. Next time the bike is used, the electronic gets power, the sms is received. And the GPS-data is transmitted. This might result in less false alarms.

[@greatscottlab]

Yes that is also possible.

[@LittleRainGames]

As for your smtp relay issue, alot of servers only allow emails to be sent only if the program is running off their server. Godaddy is horrible for this, bluehost isnt. Fuck i miss bluehost, fast, relatively cheap, very leaniant, just do not have any windows servers.

[@Deurhzd]

Just the SIM module is more expensive than a pre-built GPS tracker

[@richharrisonline]

:( The only problem with your channel is that i cannot subscribe twice :P !!! Love yur vids :)

[@SuperHamsterGaming]

Gmail is hard to get working sometimes. It had a security settings which blocks "less secure" applications. It doesn't work on port 25 and you must authenticate with your login. you must also use ttl I think. After all this it still might not work.

Can you make an automatic front disk brake that instantly locks up and sends the thief flying when you press something on your phone?

[@norbertkot8472]

8:21 text on motorbike " elektronik 51" you are from Poland? Or this motorbike are from Poland

[@martinvollderpro]

no. He and the bike is german

can you make a tut on how to connect this module to an esp 8266 node mcu so i can see lat and long from module via a local web server on the esp ip address?

[@MatHelm]

Now setup a remote kill command (engine kill that is (unless you're in a stand your ground state.. ;p )), so you can disable it in a public location...

[@olaoluwaraji2335]

Do SIM5320 work everywhere? The modules I've seen online are for specific regions e.g SIM5320E for Europe etc.

[@NivagSwerdna]

Doesnt the GPS antenna have trouble being directly behind a steel cover?

[@greatscottlab]

Not really

[@NivagSwerdna]

Perfect

[@DoItAfterSmoking]

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

[@Guill0rtiz]

How about attaching an actual old phone to do all this? Wouldn't that be simpler? Also, can't it be made so it draws power from the bike's battery?

[@PolakeXD]

I don't think it will be that efficient.. I mean I had something similar build in my Mercedes cl 500 and some thief just used a signal jammer

[@philipm1896]

+GreatScott! to enable smtp through gmail you need to sign into your gmail (google) account and Allow less secure apps: ON

[@honkhonk8009]

Hey scott. Remember how you censored the location that the arduino printed out? And how you later showed the google maps coordinates on screen? I think u should change it . .

[@DrIlLkIlLeR1]

If you happen to have a CNC machine controlled with arduino could you make a DIY bluetooth module to control the CNC wirelessly?

[@JohnEdwardDoyleOnGoogle]

Gmail SMTP server often requires authentication with a browser, that was probably your issue sending emails.

[@pawild5594]

New to this...would love some more detail around sending a SMS I don't quite understand all that is involved to do so.

[@Saipreetham0]

Can you make a video of ttgo-t-call gprs tracker

[@Pimpinpark777]

Where did you learn how to do this? I'm studying computer engineering and want this to be my career. Am I on the right track?

[@puchesmichael7526]

@greatscott Hey i have a VW T1 Samba, can you build me one of this? Eventually with 12V ?
