MCU U1 detects the GPS-GPRS module status via pins 18, 29, and 20. MCU U1 uses an ARM-Cortex-M4 core.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the vibration sensor module includes a vibration sensor U3 and a tenth capacitor C6; these two capacitors are connected in parallel. The vibration sensor module can detect whether the device is stationary and distinguish between free fall and vibration. The signal is transmitted via pin 2 of the vibration sensor U3 to pin 42 of the microcontroller U1, conveying the device's status to the main control circuit for data analysis and processing.
