Track Which Houses Are Giving Out the Best Halloween Candy With DIY GPS Tracker
When your kids are planning their itinerary for the best Halloween candy, it’s all about finding the big chocolate bars and not using toothbrushes. If you’re looking to help put together a reliable list of the best homes to stay in, Adafruit shows you how to create a sweet GPS tracker.
The basic idea here is that the GPS records your location and then you just press a button when you find a house with some awesome candy. Your location is tracked in real time on a Google map so others can follow in your footsteps for the best candy, or you can save this data to optimize your path for the next year. It’s a bit silly, but definitely a fun way to spice up a trick or treat and teach your kids about electronics before the holiday.
