| Project | Priority | Details | Lead/Interested |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driver Controls | High | Responsible for steering wheel, dashboard, pedals, and lights Involves design of system and appearance Requires communicating motor controllers or motor controller interface | |
| Motor Controller Interface? | Medium | Run local motor controller network at 1Mbps and isolate the ID system to the motor controllers Allows us to determine our own protocol entirely, could handle precharge/discharge sequencing | |
| Power Distribution | Medium | Handles LV and HV power distribution LV: Driver controls, motor controllers, fans, motor precharge controllers HV: Battery, solar | |
| Motor Precharge Controller | Medium | Analog precharge/discharge controller using 12V relays Simplifies power distribution and reduces board size | |
| Telemetry | High | Embedded device is hooked into the car and communicates wirelessly with a client device in the chase car Allows us to monitor the car remotely | |
| Battery Management | Medium | Evaluate different AFEs and current sensing for monitoring our lithium-ion pack Develop SOC algorithms | |
| Battery Pack | High | Work with mechanical to develop a battery pack design that is reliable and safe Look at increasing pack voltage | |
| Array | Low | Develop array for MSXII Evaluate MPPTs |
