Possible GPS Solution Paul Bennett, Rebekah Patterson, Ty Hayden
Mirumod • Overview of Hardware Required: • Arduino Board • Arduino GPS Chip/Shield • Serial Port Connector • Logic Level Converter • Misc Resistors, Diodes, etc • Website has full specs
Benefits • Full Tutorial Section • Tested and known to work • No use of Wi-Fi connection for direct control • Uses direct RC control • Can be hacked to include Wi-Fi control • Integrates GPS Arduino directly to Drone • Possibility of not needing RC control at all
Benefits • Online community resources (forum threads) • Lots of provided software • Several Configuration tools for flight setup • Parts are specified on website and easily acquired
Drawbacks • Proprietary to Arduino • Doesn’t take advantage of wifi • Current implementation doesn’t interface with Android • Possible solution is to replace RC chip with interface to Android
Backup Plan • ArduPilot with GPS, Wi-Fi, and SD card attachments • Benefits • Allows for storage of commands or points • Allows for direct interface between board and drone • Drawbacks and Issues • Solution would have to be developed from scratch • Developed solution is not tested to the extent that MiruMod has been
