Drone GPS Navigator Kit with Arduino Uno – Send GPS Coordinates via SMS

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

Imagine pressing a button on your drone and instantly receiving a text message with its exact location on Google Maps — no internet needed. This kit lets you build a compact GPS tracker that uses the NEO-6M module to capture coordinates and the SIM800L GSM module to send them as an SMS. Perfect for drone recovery, field robotics, or a CBSE Class 12 physics project that demonstrates practical wireless communication.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble a breadboard circuit that powers an Arduino Uno, GPS module, and GSM module from a single battery via a buck converter. When you press the tactile button, the Arduino reads the GPS coordinates, formats a Google Maps link (e.g., https://maps.google.com/?q=12.9716,77.5946), and sends it via SMS to any mobile number you program. The two LEDs confirm power and message status. The entire unit is lightweight enough to mount on a small drone frame.

What You'll Learn

• Interfacing NEO-6M GPS with Arduino and parsing NMEA sentences for latitude and longitude
• Configuring SIM800L GSM module for SMS sending using AT commands and handling network registration
• Power management with LM2596 buck converter to supply stable voltage to both modules from a LiPo battery
• Building a one-touch emergency location alert system logic with button debouncing and LED status indicators
