Next Steps

•  Front & solar enclosures (on top of the catamaran)
•  Former user (Deleted) layout and design for lights
•  Battery box + wire routing on the catamaran to be figured out throughout the term
•  Former user (Deleted) to figure out architecture, what is feasible and what is not for front lights
•  Former user (Deleted) To look into physical buttons on steering wheel + horn mounting
•  Jess Douglas Muir (Deactivated)Catherine Cai To find an owner to build the front-end of the Driver display on the firmware team
•  Kristen Emiko Shiozaki (Deactivated) get Firmware onto Figma for Driver Display & infotainment

Driver Display & Infotainment

• Driver Display = right behind the steering wheel that has the speedometer, charge information. Running on Pi Zero

• Infotainment System = An independent systems from everything is moreso for practicality and a nice to have (more of a software interface)

• Infotainment System on Android Auto? Can run off of a raspberry pi with a mimic of Android auto - had problems previously with open auto

• Question from Jess Douglas Muir (Deactivated) : Has anyone gotten the Raspbery Pi for the driver display to accept CAN messages? (no one has answered this)

• If the Infotainment is running independently, recommended to not connect Pis over wifi

• Telemetry may not use ethernet and are currently testing over Wifi with ESP32 (microcontroller with bluetooth and wifi built-in), currently being worked on by Pei

• Infotainment is an Acer 24” touchscreen monitor (will it work?)

Driver & Ventilation Fans

• Hardware is powering them from the front-electrical enclosure (battery in there & board with connections for that)

• Wires will run to wherever the fans are mounted, will be able to control up to 4 fans

• Wiring from the front to the back of the car will be going along the side of the battery box to reach the rear of the electrical enclosure (the rear & battery enclosure need a slot for the wires to get through, same for the front with the dash)

Lights

• Not much progress and is further along than mechanical (has boards + connections done, just need to figure out how to route the wires to the lights neatly)

• Wire routing may need similar input to brake routing

• For interiors, lights design is blocking elec

• Motor controller cooling systems being worked on by Kevin

• the mounting of enclosures (need a flat surface inside and need to know max dimensions for routing)

• Power & thermistor wires are routing back from solar enclosure to panels

• Each interior panel (x6) will have (12V?) cables that run the rear of the car, along the roof to the front

• Pei is designing the boards, Nita worked on previous versions and will work on future revisions if any

• Back and top light mount through the firewall

Horn Mounting + Steering Wheel Button

• Elec doesn't care about the button as long as the cable can reach the steering board

Power Consumption of infotainment monitor

• Powered from the DCD converter

• 20W when active (aka displaying something)

• power consumption of driver display monitor is unknown

• Infotainment will not be displayed during competition and will only be for practicality purposes

• Taking the screen out will probably be against regulations but we should be able to just power it off during the race
