The freshman design project’s objective is to control an existing drone through a Java program as to aid its user in navigation. The program will be created on and run from a Raspberry pi computer that has Wifi capabilities. The drone will operate in a relatively small area, in this case the campus of Drexel University, where GPS applications such as a phone app are not as useful. The main motivation of the project is to create a project that can help to make life easier for incoming college freshman in regards to finding their classes in a timely manner, and even give them a kickstart on learning about technology they could use in upcoming years. This drone will prevent them from getting lost and get them to their intended destination while taking the quickest route possible. Challenges the team faced were figuring out the best and most efficient way to go about coding the drone, connecting it to the GPS, and finding the appropriate flight control and GPS library needed for the language of code being used. The team completed multiple major tasks along the way including background research, ordering the needed parts, writing an algorithm, and coding the a program itself. The final deliverables to result from this project include a working prototype which will be able to demonstrate the basic functions of the desired project, screenshots of the code, and a video demonstration of the drone in use.
