| Project | Details | Leads |
|---|---|---|
| Driver Controls | Responsible for driver interface - steering wheel, signals, dashboard, pedals, etc. Requires communicating with motor controller interface | |
| Motor Controller Interface | Run local motor controller network at 1Mbps and isolate the ID system to the motor controllers Allows us to determine our own protocol entirely | |
| Power Distribution | Handles LV and HV power distribution | |
| Motor Precharge Controller | Analog precharge/discharge controller using 12V relays Simplifies power distribution and reduces board size | |
| Telemetry | 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 | Evaluate different AFEs and current sensing for monitoring our lithium-ion pack Develop SOC algorithms | |
| Battery Pack | Work with mechanical to develop a battery pack design that is reliable and safe Look at increasing pack voltage | |
| Array | Develop array for MSXII Evaluate MPPTs |
