Hardware / dashboard integration meeting notes (09/23/2020):

Expand
  • everything in purple we basically need to see on the dash

  • kill switch = red button - something's going wrong, stop the car button

  • p indicator switch = parking indicator switch

    • ignore this, doesn't affect dash

  • there should be a power switch, but not currently on diagram

  • P LED = indicates we're in park

  • already purchased D, N, R, (can’t remember if there was another button they already have - Renzo Villanoy do you remember which other one they said ?? if not, will ask again)

  • fan control: knobs you can turn to certain point and it clicks on

    • needs to be accessible on the dash for driver and passenger - will be circular holes on the dash for the knobs to poke through

  • AUX, Race/Normal

    • Race mode will turn off infotainment - does not need to be super accessible

      • switching between race/normal ideally similar to switching between eco and non eco mode

    • VEH CAN --> DB9

    • Pi USB --> Type A

    • USB C charger output --> USB C

  • Fault LED --> when that LED is on, activates something outside and also on top of car

  • Fans 1-4 will be mounted on the dash and wiring will run through on the inside

    • fans on old car look similar to ones on a real car - direction control and stuff

    • only fan control needs to be on rn

  • all blue squares are enclosures and all red boxes are connectors which need to fit on enclosures

    • driver display area, infotainment display area easily accessible

  • front electronics enclosure should be accessible but does not need to be EASILY accessible - ie could be unscrewed or smth - don't want it to be a big box like old car

  • there will be slits on the front of the car which will be connected to the fans so there will always be airflow

  • driver display area has 4 screens --> all connects to the steering wheel

    • driver display area should be parallel to driver

  • pedal board enclosure should be waterproof

  • can ignore side lights box

  • kill switch should be flush with car, just needs opening, should not be easily pressed

  • (front driver, front passenger) side misc. --> adrian has ideas for it already, talk to adrian about it

  • basically: we're taking care of pedal board enclosure, front electronics enclosure, infotainment display area, driver display area
