GPS Navigator for Runners

GPS Navigator for Runners

The basic idea of this 4760 final project is to build a GPS navigator for runners who are new to their neighborhood. For example, if someone is new to Cornell University, College of Engineering, and wants to run around the engineering quad every day, this runner Navigation system have the following functions to ensure that

I have seen many projects in the past which attempt to develop a flight controller for a drone. While the theory behind this is rather simple, it can be hard to acheive great results in practice.

R C Controlled Switch for Drones

R/C Controlled Switch for Drones

Although there are MANY good circuits available on the internet for similar projects, I had a dedicated problem to solve. Most of the circuits available switches their outputs on at mid stick position (50%). My drones all use six channels (Throttle, Aileron, Rudder, Elevator, GPS Mode, Flight Mode), thus not leaving any spare channel to
