Commercial Drone with Extended Applications

The current drone system that is available in the market is pre-programmed and expensive. Casual users have to spend high amounts of money to buy a stable drone which is limited to a few operations that are pre-programmed into its system. Serious users may have trouble buying a drone that will let them program their own functions into it and there lies the limitations in the current drone system. This project aims to provide a programmable drone at a low cost that allows users to type in their own code to program the Arduino Pro Mini into performing their own functions. A base C/C++ program can be easily manipulated into making the drone perform operations according to the user’s requirements. This feature of the low cost drone produced is shown in the project by making it respond to the user’s basic voice commands to control its flight pattern. Results of this project aim to show that a drone can be made at a lost cost which can be programmed in future systems with basic C/C++ commands on the drone’s Arduino Pro Mini. Keywords Programmable drone, Voice commands, flight pattern, Arduino Pro Mini.
