P LED - parking indicator LED
Fault LED - lights up when there’s a batter fault
Fan Control Potentiometers - Adjust fan speed for driver and passenger fans. Also have a switch built in to them so that when you turn in all the way to the left it clicks off - Aashmika Mali can you put the link?
D, N, R drive mode switches - ‘gear shift’ for a regular car. Should be able to know where it is without looking. (Latching switches for the purpose of UI). Also have an LED ring around the switch that will glow when the mode is activated.
Kill Switch - removes power from the motors. Must be very accessible if we need to hit it. Must be able to know where it is without looking. This is a latching switch
P Indicator Switch - mounted with the parking brake, indicates when the parking brake is pressed. (Momentary)
Hazard Switch - activated hazards (4-way flashers) - same as regular car - used when driving slow or parked at side of road, etc. need to be able to press it while you’re driving. Should be able to know where it is without looking. (Latching). Also have an LED ring around the switch that will glow when the mode is activated.
Power Switch - (Latching switches for the purpose of UI) - ‘push to start’ power button to start the car
Less often (mostly used by passenger):
Aux Power Switch - toggle it once at the start of the power on sequence. Driver should be able to reach it in case we want to drive the car with one person in it. (Toggle Switch)
Race/Normal Switch - controls power unnecessary loads (infotainment display and Raspberry Pi processing). Would be useful to be able to press while driving but not necessary. If you have to spend some time looking for it, that’s fine. (Toggle Switch)
USB-C Charger Output - charge out for a phone - should only be accessible to the passenger. USB-C port to plug a charging cable into
USB-A Pi USB Output - USB Port that connects to the Raspberry Pi that powers the infotainment display. Gives access to more information than is displayed over telemetry. Used mostly during debugging when usability doesn’t really matter.
VEH CAN Debug Output - Gives access to more information than is displayed over telemetry. Used mostly during debugging when usability doesn’t really matter. Often the passenger will have a laptop in the car connected to this port while driving around for debugging.
Power-On Sequence:
Car Off → Aux Power Switch → (Able to be turned on with the power switch) → Power Switch → Car will start to turn on (displays, lights, etc.)
