Drone GPS Navigator Kit with Arduino Nano
Drone GPS Navigator Kit with Arduino Nano – Log Flight Paths, Send Daily SMS Reports
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Ever sent your drone on a long survey mission and lost track of its path? With this kit you build a self-contained module that logs GPS coordinates to an SD card every five minutes and sends a daily summary SMS report over GSM—no internet or ground station required. All communication hardware, power regulation, and the soldering tools are right inside the box.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble and code a compact waterproof unit housing an Arduino Nano, a NEO-6M GPS receiver, a SIM800L GSM module, and a microSD card slot. Once powered by the included LiPo battery, the device logs latitude, longitude, altitude, and time every 5 minutes to a CSV file. At the end of each day, it sends a text message containing a summary of total distance covered, number of logged points, and average speed—directly to your phone. Mount it on any drone frame and gain a reliable secondary telemetry system that works even when your primary data link drops.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing a GPS module with Arduino and parsing NMEA data sentences
- Using the SIM800L GSM module to send SMS over Indian mobile networks
- Logging sensor data to a microSD card and maintaining CSV file structures
- Implementing a daily summary algorithm—computing total distance, average speed, and formatting the SMS report
