Specs

 

ESP32-S3 At the heart of Pocket Tracker is the ESP32-S3, a powerful microcontroller with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. This ensures low-power wireless communication while maintaining high performance for real-time data processing. The dual-core architecture capabilities make it perfect for handling sensor data, logging, User itnerface with ease.
u-blox MAX-M10S For accurate positioning, Pocket Tracker integrates the u-blox MAX-M10S, a high-performance multi-GNSS receiver. It supports GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou, ensuring fast and reliable location tracking even in challenging environments. With ultra-low power consumption, it delivers high accuracy without draining the battery, making it ideal for long-duration tracking applications.
Sensors Pocket Tracker is equipped with the BNO086, an advanced 9-axis IMU that delivers highly accurate motion tracking and orientation detection with onboard sensor fusion. This ensures smooth and reliable data for navigation and movement analysis. Complementing this, the BMP390 provides precise barometric pressure measurements, enabling accurate altitude estimation and improved elevation tracking during movement.
SD card logging Pocket Tracker features SD card logging, ensuring secure and efficient storage of GPS tracks, sensor data, and environmental metrics. This enables saving of GPX files, a highly compatible format widely used for mapping and data analysis. Optimized power management ensures extended logging sessions without draining the battery.
Display  Pocket Tracker features a Sharp Memory Display (LS018B7DH02), delivering crisp, high-contrast visuals with ultra-low power consumption. This reflective display ensures excellent readability in daylight. With instant refresh and minimal energy use, it offers a clear and efficient interface for real-time tracking.
EXT connector  Pocket Tracker features a flexible 4-pin 2.5mm jack interface, allowing integration with external sensors and peripherals. The two configurable data lines support GPIO, I²C, or serial communication, adapting to different devices. A dedicated low-power VCC provides energy for compatible sensors, enabling expansion without compromising efficiency.
Power Supply Pocket Tracker is designed for efficient operation, supporting lithium batteries (LiIon, LiPo). The power path ensures the device remains powered via USB-C while charging, preventing battery drain during charging cycles. Multiple power modes are possible to optimize battery life based on specific use cases.
More PocketTracker also includes a configurable status LED, providing clear visual feedback for various device states. In addition, it features two high-intensity LEDs that can be used as a compact torch for illumination in low-light environments, adding extra utility to an already versatile device.
