Byte Our Dust

On the current car, we are implementing an array of sensors to verify and validate the design decisions other subsystems for next year’s car. Current sensors we use include, (but certainly aren’t limited to) IR temperature sensors to validate brake efficiency, hall effect sensors for wheel speed, and GPS and IMU modules to predict future movements of the car. To gather the most valuable data we can, we also employ a host of data refinement techniques to remove any noise gathered from sensor datas to create the most accurate models possible.

The software team also employs the use of CAN messages and radio modules to transmit all data from the car to our ground station during competition, making sure that every measurement and impact on the car happening during race day can be effectively monitored.
