Vehicle Speeding Log and Alert > Arduino GPS ? Vehicle Speeding Log and Alert Original author: gemma (source: https://www.elithecomputerguy.com/2020/06/arduino-gps-vehicle-speeding-log-and-alert/) ## Components - **Arduino WiFi Rev 2** x 1 - **Arduino Ethernet Shield 2** x 1 ([docs](https://docs.arduino.cc/hardware/ethernet-shield-rev2)) - **20 x 4 I2C LCD Screen** x 1 - **560 Piece Jumper Wire Kit** x 1 - **CR1220 Batteries** x 1 - **Adafruit Ultimate GPS** x 1 - **220 Ohm Resistors** x 1 - **Breadboard Kit** x 1 - **LED Kit** x 1 - Software: **Arduino IDE** ([docs](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software)) ## Article This project logs and alerts when a speed limit value is passed. You can assign a value as a Speed Limit and when that speed is passed the Red LED lights up, and the location and speed is logged to the SD Card. **Functional Parts in the Project:** - Arduino WiFi Rev 2 ?? - Arduino Ethernet Shield 2 ?? - 20 x 4 I2C LCD Screen ?? - 560 Piece Jumper Wire Kit ??[https://amzn.to/2MsCLjL](https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F2MsCLjL&event=video_description&v=fkNCY-HAsVo&redir_token=O-C9ytHkQ7L0JwBCUOldyXdn4vx8MTU1OTY2MTMxN0AxNTU5NTc0OTE3) - CR1220 Batteries ?[?https://amzn.to/2X6h4ch](https://amzn.to/2X6h4ch) - Adafruit Ultimate GPS ?? - 220 Ohm Resistors ?? - Breadboard Kit ?? - LED Kit ?? ![](https://www.elithecomputerguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-09-at-8.49.18-AM.png) **Wiring Guide:** - Ethernet Shield Connected to Arduino Uno with WiFi Rev 2 - For Shield it must have ICSP Header Connectors, and SDA/SCL connectors - LED - D3 ?
