We were inspired by defense and space companies such as Lockheed Martin and NASA for our project, which is a missile guidance system. Instead of depending on satellites prone to disruptions that cost tons of money, the missile guidance system is an Arduino-based navigational motion system. It includes an input system for environmental adaptability as well as a modular design for scalability and cost. Instead of soldering multiple wires, we used a breadboard as a base to connect all of our components. We have an Arduino Uno, an IMU for calculating rotation in seconds (degrees per second), an LCD, a PIR motion sensor, an Xbee Bluetooth sensor, a number pad, 3 MG90S servo motors, 1 SG90 servo motors, and a cylindrical structure and rocket fins made out of 3D printed PLA. We experienced some challenge spots with rotation data, sending IMU data to the Arduino, wiring, and Bluetooth connection. If we had extra timing, we would create an exterior to protect our Arduino, sensors, and wires as well as Bluetooth connections and possible alternate power sources. We are proud of our project overall, and we were able to have fun utilizing and sharpening our various hardware and software skills (CAD, 3D printing, design, Arduino wiring, sensors, soldering, Arduino programming) through TAMUhack!
