First Task - GPS - Can you even buy GPS "parts"?

Here's my lines of thinking:
  • The drone needs to follow me, therefore it needs to know where I am.
  • Then the drone needs to know where it is to follow.
  • Yep, it's all pointing to GPS!
A few minutes later on Google says YES!!!

Well I have no idea how it works but I know you can buy them, great :)

Time to Test Google

OK, I want to build a drone that can follow me ... decision made, that bit is sorted.  Time to put down my very simple aims, click here.  Now, where to start?

Time for a plan!!!
So what's needed?
  • All this stuff needs to know where it is, I need GPS!!!
  • No airframe, no drone :)
  • Motors to fly!
  • Crashing is bad! We need some smart electronics to control the flight.

Haha, so simple ... still no idea about any of it :)
