Arduino RF/GPS Payload Project
Arduino RF/GPS Payload Project
This is an overview of a project using Arduinos to run a GPS trasnponder. This was essentially a proof of concept for a later project that is currently underway (See Raspberry PI Project). This project was loaded into NCSSM Rocketry's "OneStone" rocket as a payload.

The system uses boards and libraries from Adafruit to run the transponder system. Essentially, the mobile unit has a GPS chip which sends raw data to the arduino which is then parsed. Select data is then transmitted with an RF chip to the base unit. More details can be found in the proposal and documentation PDFs below.
