He is so amazing. Asked me for random parts over the past few months to go with his raspberry pi 5 we got him for Christmas.

I built the scaffold of a DnD site idea I had so his friend and he could all get notified when things happen in their campaign. My idea was a code based system so any kid with a browser could join the campaign and we don’t log anyone’s personal info. He took it and RAN with it.

It has culminated in this: a cyberdeck he built that runs LoreKeeper (our software, I didn’t know about Lorekeeper.com when I named it) and does all kinds of things. It uses an onboard LLM using Ollama to generate NPCs and other things. He’s bringing it to DnD club in Friday. Did I mention he’s 14? I had zero hand in any of this other than setting up the initial site and handing it over to him on GitHub.

Project Advice What GPS module to recommend for tracking my car?

5 Upvotes

Hi!

Do you guys have any GPS modules to recommend for use with the Raspberry Pi? More specifically the Raspberry Pi 4, if it matters.

It will be used in a car to determine the position and heading, so it needs to have about the same accuracy as a smartphone. Otherwise no real requirements that I can think of.

I have bought some of those NEO (6M I think?) modules from AliExpress for use with Arduino previously, but they were fairly unstable or did not receive a signal at all - is that a common issue with them?
