description The fast pace of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) technological innovation is tremendous, every week there are presses and research papers published on what are the new areas that UAV can be used for. The application of UAV is endless in many areas and provides lots of advantages, it ranges from rescue services, military usage, delivery services, surveillance and even in agricultural monitoring. UAV are also commonly known as drone, and both terms can be used interchangeability. Drone communication is essential for a drone and it would not work without any signal or information. Drones are usually only controllable by one remote-control unit or only able to receive signals from one source. In this project, the communication between drone and user was extended to any user can connect to a drone by using any device. A quadcopter that consists of 4 rotors will be used for the testing and implementation of communication between a user and the drone. The communication was done via an intermediate mechanism, a web interface that is user friendly and allows user to control the drone anytime and at the same time receiving real-time data (Positions, Orientations, Velocities) from the drone. Each drone has a unique IP Address where a user can connect to the drone by using any network-enabled devices such as smartphone, laptop, etc. The setup, hardware and software used for this interface will be further explain in this report.
