GPS Logger project

My GPS logger project is pretty much over at last. All working so well, and several customers happy!

  • not spotting I had inputs on non RTC GPIOs on the ESP32S3.
  • not realising the STAT signal from the charger is only charging so stops when charged.
  • having a cap on GPS so it could brownout the power when connected.

Even so, all sorted, and quickly, and the whole project sorted from start to finish in a couple of weeks.

I'd like to thank Neil for inspiring the whole project - his blog: RevK's privacy-friendly GPS logger.
