Project Block Diagram 

Project Description

1.    RC Helicopter is operating using wireless transmitter and receiver module. Transmitter and receiver module is operating using 12V battery. This system is using computer interfacing to receive data from computer.

2.    When system is operating, PIC microcontroller detects data from computer. If data in, LED will blink and transmitter module send the data to receiver.

3.    Receiver module detects data from computer. If data in, system will compare position now with destination and calculate compass direction. Helicopter will fly to target.

4.    System detects direction now. If direction is heading to left, helicopter will turn to right and red LED turn on. Else, if direction is heading to right, helicopter will turn to left and green LED turn on. System detects GPS position now. If GPS position same as destination, helicopter will stop.

5.    Users enter destination and GPS location. System detect start button. If button pressed, computer will send data to transmitter module. Else, system detects stop button. If button pressed, computer will send data to transmitter.
