Learning to program Arduino

I would eventually like to program my Arduino to work with my quadcopter. However, that is still in the future given how new I am to both of these things. This is a an Arduino Uno with the Adafruit Super GPS Logger shield.



The program reads the number of satellites currently available to the GPS and writes them on the display. A dash (-) indicates no satellites and a zero (0) represents 10 or more. This is because I only picked up one digit the last time I was at the store, and I lack the shift registers necessary to free up some pins.



Future programs will collect GPS data, generate some form of meaningful output, and finally autopilot a quad.
