Abstract	The purpose of the " Android Drone " project was to create a quadcopter that can be controlled by user input sent over the phone's Wi-Fi connection or 4G internet connection. Furthermore, the purpose was also to be able to receive live video feedback over the internet connection, thus making the drone an inexpensive option compared to other, equivalent drones that might cost thousands of dollars. Not only that, but the Android phone also has a host of other useful features that could be utilized by the drone: this includes GPS, pathing, picture taking, data storage, networking and TCP/IP, a Java software environment, and a large, diverse variety of Android software endpoints that allow for things like facial recognition or motion detection. Ultimately, this project was intended to give a cost effective means of adding hundreds of potential features to a standard quadcopter. Although there were other ways of implementing this project, such as buying a Wi-Fi or GPS module and connecting it directly to a microcontroller, the Android phone option represents a much more versatile option that includes significantly higher processing power for the future development of this project.  Allow a user to remotely control and fly a quadcopter.  Allow a user to receive feedback via the phone.  Create and Android and PC app that allow for future development. Architecture Objectives:   Use an Android phone application to use TCP/IP and USB to communicate with the PC program and MSP430 microcontroller respectively.  Use the MSP430 to control motors with pulse width modulation.   Use a PC program to take user input and send it to the Android application.
