The microcontroller receives valid data from GPS and it sends data to his server through HTTP request. The interval of tracking is 10 minutes.
You can find ...

"With the recent release of Mathematica 10, you might be surprised to discover that you can now get it for free with a Raspberry Pi.It is very surprising that Wolfram decided to put a copy of Mathematica on the Raspberry Pi for free. It is even more surprising that it has just been upgraded to the latest version. Mathematica 10 now comes ready installed on Raspian.
The new release includes integration with the Wolfram cloud giving access to ... "
