Tiivistelmä
The main goal of this thesis is to define a process starting from an idea and ending with an electronics final product. A GPS tracker is taken as an example to explain each step.
The thesis is divided into 2 main parts: hardware and software. The hardware part consists of dividing the project into modules which are explained in detail. Then, the design part describes the tools required to produce a schematic representation and also give information about basic electronics components. Testing is an important step for that kind of project and different tools are illustrated. Finally, the printed circuit board creation process will be described from design to ordering and soldering.
The software part is based on a web-app. The main goal was to make it available for any platform, simple and easy to use and it was made possible by using bootstrap, jQuery and PHP. The app offers basic functionalities to interpret the data generated from the GPS tracker.
