CarWatch: My homemade car tracking platform
Hi all,
few months ago, I was thinking about having my car tracked over GPS to make sure it is where I left it and to have some records how much I drive etc. There are commercial systems available for this but they cost some money and I wanted to have it customizable, under own control and to implement a few own ideas so I designed and implemented the system by myself.

You can easily find the original utility & driver for Windows on the Internet but the chip manufacturer doesn’t provide software for Linux.

Cloning iButton using RW1990 and AVR
Ahojte! 🙂
Yesterday arrived my RW1990 keys I had ordered from aliexpress. They look the same as original iButton (DS1990A) but they hide one awesome feature: they are writeable so you can change their Serial Number! This is how I managed to write them white some cheap parts I had at hand. Continue reading Cloning iButton using RW1990 and AVR
