| Abstract | Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is required precise navigation system to accomplish its user’s objective. GPS and magnetometer sensor are used to tracking current position and heading direction of an UAV. Gyroscope and accelerometer are fused together with Kalman Filter in order to compensate tilt effect of magnetometer and detect current roll angle of an UAV. To control heading direction, rudder control surface will be moved according to heading and distance error. Aileron control surface is used to control roll angle of UAV. Calculation, control signal and flight log are done by Arduino which is installed on UAV. Waypoints is defined as latitude and longitude. In Arduino program, waypoints, gain and sensor calibration are pre-defined. |
