Presentation Transcript

  1. ECE 477 Final Presentation Team 2  Fall 2010 Andrew Phillips Rob Swanson Ben Laskowski Shannon Abrell

  2. Outline • Project overview • Block diagram • Design challenges • Individual contributions • Project demonstration • Questions / discussion

  3. Project Overview eV-TEK, or Telemetry for Electric Karts, is a tool for collecting and transmitting electric go-kart parameters in a race situation. The collected data can help the driver and pit crew optimize vehicle performance and ultimately win races.

  4. Block Diagram

  5. Design Challenges • Power consumption • How to power components • Current draw of battery boards • Changing customer demands • Board real estate • Accurately measuring large voltages and currents • Part availability

  6. Individual Contributions • Team Leader – Andrew Phillips • Team Member 2 – Ben Laskowski • Team Member 3 – Rob Swanson • Team Member 4 – Shannon Abrell

  7. Team Leader – Andrew Phillips • Customer Interfacing • Worked with IE eV Kart Team • Presentation Creation • Product Packaging • Soldering • Built all battery monitoring boards • Wiring harnesses • Testing

  8. Member 2 – Ben Laskowski • Circuit development and prototyping • Component selection • Schematic capture • PCB layout • Programming • Soldering

  9. Member 3 – Rob Swanson • Component rational for system design • PCB layout • Preliminary block layout • Maintenance and cleanup • System debugging • Soldering • Speed Sensor • Evaluation of techniques • Packaging fabrication

  10. Member 4 – Shannon Abrell • Packaging design • Create CAD model of design • Wire harness fabrication • Tailor harnesses to kart specifics • Electric Vehicle Grand Prix liaison • Interfaced with EVGP for regulations • Edited PSSC Demo video

  11. Project Demonstration • An ability to report the approximate number of laps remaining on a given battery charge • An ability to detect and report cell voltage anomalies • An ability to sense and display kart speed • An ability to track the number of laps completed • An ability to log and display vehicle telemetry data
