Story

This project will help build a security system for vehicles that is more secure due to its tracking feature and remote shut down option along with system health check. I chose this to bring more security to existing systems where theft cases have increased. Once theft incident happens, the user will send special shutdown command to device installed in vehicle and in return the system will shut down the engine and report back with GPS coordinates of vehicle. A relay connected to vehicle ignition fuse will shutdown engine. this relay will be installed at random places so that the thief can not access it to deactivate it.

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {

  Serial.begin(9600);

}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
  // read the input pin:
  char msg =(char)Serial.read();
  if(Serial.available())
  {
    if (msg=='l'){
    digitalWrite(13,1);
    }
    else if (msg=='u') {
      digitalWrite(13,0);
    }
  
  }
  delay(100);        // delay in between reads for stability
}
