In today’s world, accurate speed measurement is essential across various fields, including automotive vehicles, drones, and athletic training. To address this need, a groundbreaking GPS-based speedometer has been developed, capable of measuring speeds up to 1854 kilometres per hour.
This speedometer stands out due to its compact size, using the Quectel L86 GPS module and IndusBoard with a 3D accelerometer and compass sensor. These components are housed in a tiny 3cm IndusBoard coin form factor, making it the smallest speedometer available. Its small size allows it to be used in a wide range of applications, including automobiles, bicycles, runners, athletes, speed bots, motor bots, drones, and robots, providing real-time speed measurement.
Additionally, the device offers IoT capability, enabling connectivity with any Wi-Fi-enabled device such as laptops, phones, or tablets for real-time tracking of speed and total distance covered.
The applications of this GPS-based speedometer are vast. In automobiles, it provides drivers with real-time speed feedback, enhancing safety and helping maintain adherence to speed limits. Cyclists can use it to monitor their speed during training or recreational rides. For runners and athletes, the device offers precise speed measurements, aiding in performance tracking and training optimization.
In drones and robots, the speedometer is crucial for speed control and navigation accuracy, which are essential for autonomous movement and obstacle avoidance. It also enhances performance in speed bots and motor bots by monitoring speed in various robotic applications.
Overall, this innovative speedometer offers a versatile and precise solution for real-time speed measurement across multiple domains.
