2. Definite Items  Use AR Drone 2.0 to fly  Use Arduino Uno for control  Use GPS module to track position Potential Items  WiFi module for communication (XBee or ZigBee); will only purchase/use if unable to use wifi on AR Drone for what we need

3. AR Drone 2.0  Has USB port  Controlled with handheld controller via WiFi GPS Module  Track position  Controlled by Arduino Arduino Uno R3  Has 13 digital I/O pins and 6 analog I/O pins  Has USB B port and 9V power input jack A Note On Powering the Arduino  Arduino gets power from USB connection  If power not received from USB, or USB doesn’t provide enough power, can always attach a 9V battery to Arduino input jack (could require creativity, but doable)

4. XBee/ZigBee  Used for WiFi communication in case WiFi used for AR Drone can’t be used  Initial ideas do not use XBee or ZigBee

5.  AR Drone connects to Arduino using USB A to B cable and the USB ports on both devices  Assume Arduino draws power from AR Drone via USB  If ^ doesn’t work, attach 9V battery to Arduino  GPS module connects to Arduino via pins

6.  Main idea for this is that Arduino is main controlling unit since Arduino is easily programmable and all external devices easily connected to and controlled by Arduino  If possible, could be better to not use Arduino at all  How would GPS information get to Drone?  Weight of Drone considerations  Ability to send arbitrary information to Drone and program Drone (programming Drone for auto-pilot possible?)
