Project Objectives Integrate GPS with AR.Drone 2 so that it

is capable of autonomous flight

Flight is based off of a route specified on Android application

Approach Originally started with external Arduino

Currently no external hardware besides GPS GPS connects directly to USB Port on

Drone

Android application

GPS and Flight Implementation Upgraded Drone

Firmware = Enabled USB

No driver for GPS on Drone, requires install of generic USB modem kernel extension

Data accessible on /dev/ttyACM0

Flight implementation is not complete

Uses algorithm based off of two points to rotate towards target

Android Application ImplementationSimple map with point markers

Select points, sends in array to Drone through UDP

Lessons Learned Integration of new hardware with

existing platform

How Linux operates with different devices and communication with them

Development of Android application with integrated maps
