GPS



As part of our secondary mission we chose to add GPS to our can. We chose GPS so that we can easily find the can after it is launched. The GPS module we chose is manufactured by adafruit, and is quite small. This makes fitting it inside the can very easy. Over the midterm I began implementing it into the can, the adafruit GPS runs at a different baud rate to most other GPSs so this took quite some time.  Thankfully after changing some of its settings I managed to get it working. Below is a journey I plotted using the GPS.
