-As the title says, WELCOME TO THE ELCANO PROJECT! Over the past few years, many different teams have been working hard to create Cheap and Modular autonomy at the University of Washington Bothell. We have developed two prototype recumbent tricycles and also worked on an ELF tricycle. With the use of affordable microcontrollers, such as the Arduino Due, Jetson Nano, and Pixhawk, we are working towards creating Autonomy for anyone to build anywhere, with electronics and software under $2000 and fully open-source. But we don't plan to stop there, no. That is just the first step in reaching our ultimate goal, which is making our systems applicable to any desired ground vehicles, such as cars and other vehicles. Autonomy is nothing new; in fact, it has been around for over 40 years. The difference is that now we can make it available for anyone who desires to further their knowledge or simply find a safer way to work.

-The Pixhawk handles PPS.
+The Pixhawk handles GPS. It includes inertial sensors and a Kalman filter and thus improves on raw GPS. Various sensors can be purchased. Some use Global Network Satellite Systems (GNSS) from other countries to improve on the US Global Positioning System.
