Ever since I switched to Samsung smart things I purchased presence sensors and had no more use for my tiles after the batteries died. I retired them to a box for a long time. Today I figured out a neat project for the tile. I am going to turn it into a tracker for my cars. This is not real time tracking but can help find your car in larger cities.
Supplies/Tools needed:
- Pry Tool
- Hot Glue gun
- Voltage Meter
- Dead battery Tile
- DC to DC Buck Converter or Linear converter (see update below)
- Soldering iron
- Wire stripper/cutter
- Drill (optional)
