Use Smart Phone Sensors to Build Drone

Posted by Imtiyaz on July 12, 2012 at 11:55am

Not sure where this question belongs.

I have a smart phone with below sensors, can I use it with combination of some Arduino module to fly a drone?

Accelerometer
3-axis gyroscope
A-GPS
Barometer
Digital compass

Since, I have data plan and it works on following network GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
HSPA 850/900/1700/1900/2100, HSDPA 21 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps,

I would like to control it by sending VXML, that is by send messages to the phone.

    Hi.

    I played with getting a serial connection to get my phone sensor data over to an arduino.

    Ages ago and it worked but required a fairly modded phone! Also, no integration with autopilot.

    Have a look anyway progsrp.moonfruit.com
