Learn to configure a GPS tracker built with Raspberry Pi Pico W and Adafruit Ultimate GPS for remote operation in this 27-minute tutorial. Discover how to implement data logging functionality that saves GPS coordinates to the Pico's flash memory, with button-controlled start and stop mechanisms for logging sessions. Master the transition between standard GPS measurement mode and data logging mode, while understanding how to power your tracker remotely using a breadvolt power supply. Overcome the critical challenge of program termination when your code runs automatically as main.py on startup, and learn effective methods for transferring logged data files from the Pico to your PC. Explore practical solutions for remote GPS tracking applications, including proper file management and data retrieval techniques essential for field deployment of your GPS tracking system.
