Android-Controlled Quadcopter with GPS and Bluetooth Connectivity

This project presents an Android-controlled quadcopter equipped with advanced features such as GPS navigation, Bluetooth connectivity with a range of approximately 300 feet, and various sensors including a compass and ultrasonic for obstacle detection. Key design challenges included ensuring flight stabilization, effective mounting of the flight controller, and battery management. The team made significant contributions in component selection, software development, and debugging. The quadcopter can automatically take off and land, fly by waypoint, and monitor battery status, enhancing user control and navigation experiences.
