MSXVI Project Ideas

Please add project ideas

MSXVI CONFLUENCE DOCUMENTATION ERA

Enforce tests for ALL projects/files made

Standard Peripheral -> Cube MX HAL
Attempt Docker again
Explore CAN messaging at multiple cycle speeds (Aryan might do this at the end of August)
- ie: Run only pedal messages and drive_info in the fast cycle, while the remaining centre console messages are medium cycle
- Will be a new auto-generated flag for each message specifying which cycle (default = medium)
  - Alternative 1: CAN_TX/RX always runs in a fast cycle and uses a counter to determine if it is in a medium/slow cycle, then TX respective messages
  - Alternative 2: Update the notifications used to signal CAN_TX/RX. There will be 1 notification for fast cycle messages,1 for medium cycle and 1 for slow cycle. TX respective messages

New Member Tasks

Adding peripherals to CLI
Creating MCU test board (Involves Hardware) as well as for other boards, write test firmware

XBee system (If not started by October Aryan will do this, Telemetry is a high priority for FSGP '25)
- Wire up on a breadboard, and validate working communication. Use XCTU for config
  - Digi XCTU
- Design board (Straightforward board, I think a FW member could do this)
Can Explorer Part 2? CAN Bus Visualization (Graphing throttle position/RPM/SOC etc)
SD Card logging and parsing tools

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL)
Controller board test rig (Controller board breakout into Arduino)
Suspension testing rig (IMU data that is ideally logged to telemetry and graphed)
Explore battery/cell characterization [R&D]
- Small test rig that uses our modules + Current sense/AFEs + E-load to map discharge curves
- Talk to Battery about what data is needed
