Autonomous Unmanned Aircraft Sytem (UAS) Pixhawk 2.4.8 with Ublox M8N GPS module

Introduction Recently, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology or better known as drone has become increasingly popular among the public and industries. Multirotor drone with four rotor also called as quadcopter. It has been used in many fields in the industry including agriculture, construction, energy, media & creativity, inspection and public safety. The rapid development of UAV technology allows it to operate autonomously and also with the help of human under control of remote. Therefore, it is capable of performing waypoint command functions, return to launch (RTL), Auto Zig Zag function and more. These functions have greatly facilitated human work to carry out area mapping missions, spraying fertilizers or pesticides on agricultural farms, filming and so on. In this project, I will build a quadcopter that is capable of operating autonomously using the Pixhawk 2.4.8 flight controller with the help of the Ublox M8N GPS module. Mission Planner version 1.3.76 will be used as Gro...
