The GeoFence is designed to make it easy for you to add geofencing capabilities to your next project! If you’re not familiar with the idea of a geofence, no worries, it’s exactly what it sounds like:
…a virtual geographic boundary, defined by GPS or RFID technology, that enables software to trigger a response when a mobile device enters or leaves a particular area…
These are perfect for applications like fleet or asset management as well as puzzle games like Mikal Hart’s Reverse Geocache™ or our own Robert Cowan’s NCWP Scavenger Box.
Using the GeoFence app, simply click and drag zones on a map to define areas that you want the board to trigger on. The board has four zone indicator LEDs. Whenever the board enters one or more of the zones you’ve selected, the corresponding LEDs will light and the appropriate zone indicator pins will flip from logic low to logic high. There’s also a system status pin that indicates when the GeoFence board is receiving valid GPS data, this allows another controller to validate the zone indicators if you incorporate the GeoFence into your larger project.
You can power the GeoFence through the on-board JST connector using a single cell lithium battery or, if you already have a regulated 3.3V source, through the 3V3 and GND breakouts. The ceramic antenna built into the Titan X1 GPS module works really well most cases, but if you’re going to put the GeoFence board in a project enclosure, you can connect an external GPS antenna using the U.FL connector located beside the reset button.
The GeoFence app is written in JavaScript for Electron. The source is available on our GitHub repository so you can build it for your Windows, Mac or Linux environment. If you’re running 64-bit Windows, we’ve built an executable installer to make it easy to get up and running.
We do not plan to regularly produce SparkX products so get them while they’re hot!

GeoFence旨在讓您輕鬆地為下一個項目添加地理圍欄功能!如果你不熟悉地理圍欄的想法,不用擔心,這聽起來就像這樣:
...由GPS或RFID技術定義的虛擬地理邊界,可使軟件在移動設備進入或離開特定區域時觸發響應。
這些是完美的應用程序,如艦隊或資產管理以及益智遊戲,如Mikal Hart的反向Geocache™或我們自己的Robert Cowan的NCWP清道夫盒 。
使用GeoFence應用程序,只需在地圖上單擊並拖動區域即可定義您希望板觸發的區域。該板有四個區域指示燈。每當闆卡進入您選擇的一個或多個區域時,相應的LED將亮起,相應的區域指示器引腳將從邏輯低電平翻轉為邏輯高電平。還有一個系統狀態引腳,指示GeoFence板何時正在接收有效的GPS數據,如果將GeoFence合併到較大的項目中,則允許另一個控制器驗證區域指示器。
您可以使用單節鋰電池通過板載JST連接器為GeoFence供電, 或者如果您已經通過3V3和GND 突點已經有3.3V的穩壓源。內置在Titan X1 GPS模塊中的陶瓷天線在大多數情況下工作得非常好,但如果要將GeoFence板放在項目機箱中,則可以使用位於復位按鈕旁邊的U.FL連接器連接外部GPS天線。
GeoFence應用程序用JavaScript for Electron編寫。源代碼可在我們的GitHub存儲庫中獲得,因此您可以為Windows,Mac或Linux環境構建源代碼。如果您運行的是64位Windows,我們已經構建了一個可執行的安裝程序,以便輕鬆啟動和運行。
我們不打算定期生產SparkX產品,讓他們在熱的時候得到它們!
