Controller/Breakout Board

The “brain” of the boards

Controller Board [MSXV]

Power Distribution

This board is responsible for powering other boards. It chooses between aux battery and main battery, and decides who gets power when the car is operating on aux, in a fault, about to turn on/off, etc. It also control the front/rear lights. 

Power Distribution [MSXV]

UV Cutoff

Disconnects the battery if the voltage falls below a certain threshold.

Provides additional protection features, including

  • fuse to limit short-circuit current

  • inrush-current limiting

  • reverse polarity protection.

Spring 2023 UV Cutoff Validation Plan

UV Cutoff Validation Notes [MSXV]

Centre Console

Gets the state of the buttons in the centre console: Power, Drive, Reverse, Idle, etc.

Motor Controller Interface (MCI)

Talks to motor controllers, we control the motors/get motor information through this board. 

FWXV Motor Controller Interface

BMS Carrier

This board is responsible for protecting the battery. Its responsibilities are:

  • Logging Voltage, Current, Temperature

  • Calculating the state of charge

  • Detecting battery faults and acting upon them

BMS AFE

Used to measure cell voltage and temperatures from each individual battery module

BMS AFE

Validation - BMS AFE

BMS Current Sense

Measures the total current of the battery pack.

DCDC

Converts the high voltage (110-150V) to the necessary low voltage of ~13V

Power Select

Pedal

Measures the pedal angle.

Steering

Used for measuring steering angle as well as control stalks (lights, signals, horn).

Solar Sense/MPPTs

Solar sense: Measures the array module and array voltage, temperature, current

MPPT: Converting high current low voltage output from the solar panels into low current high voltage power compatible with our batteries and motors

Solar Sense [MSXV]

Week 11 - Solar Array + Solar Sense - Part 1

Steering Stalk

Motor Testing

To test the motor and motor controller work correctly

Motor Testing - MSXV
