Drone GPS Navigator Kit: Arduino-Based Antenna Tracker for Your Drone

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

When your drone ventures beyond visual line of sight, a reliable telemetry or video link depends on a directional antenna that stays locked on the target. This kit lets you build a ground station that receives GPS coordinates from a drone-mounted transmitter and automatically points a pan-tilt antenna at the moving drone—maximising signal strength without manual adjustment. The system uses two Arduino Nanos, NRF24L01 modules for long-range wireless data transfer, NEO-6M GPS for precise location, and SG90 servos for smooth antenna tracking.

What You'll Build

A complete GPS position telemetry system split into two units. The airborne transmitter reads latitude and longitude from the NEO-6M and sends them wirelessly via NRF24. The ground receiver decodes those coordinates, calculates the bearing relative to its own fixed position, and drives a pan-tilt bracket holding your directional antenna. An OLED display shows live coordinates and the current bearing angle, so you always know the drone’s location and where your antenna is aimed.

What You'll Learn

• Parsing GPS NMEA sentences with the TinyGPS++ library on Arduino Nano
• Configuring and operating the NRF24L01 module for reliable wireless data links
• Controlling two SG90 servos in a pan-tilt configuration to achieve precise angular positioning
• Driving an 0.96-inch OLED display using I2C to show real-time telemetry data
