This guide provides detailed information on integrating GPS with Arduino for drone control. It includes necessary hardware, benefits such as direct RC control and integration with drones, online community resources, and drawbacks like proprietary limitations. A backup plan using ArduPilot with GPS, Wi-Fi, and SD card attachments is also outlined, highlighting benefits such as command storage and direct board-drone interface.

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
