Abstract
Our objective was to utilize a suite of sensors to record and analyze operational data from an off road racing vehicle. The telemetry system consists of Internal Measurement Units (IMUs), a Global Positioning System (GPS) chip, Hall-Effect Sensors, Pedal Angle and Position Sensors, pressure transducers, and infrared (IR) sensors for both distance and temperature. The system used a parallelized conjunction of Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C), Special Peripheral Interface (SPI), and Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) communication protocols. Data was recorded in real-time, written to an SD card locally, and wirelessly transmitted via IEEE 802.15.4 networking protocol to a remote device. Post-race, this data was used to construct a robust simulation in blender, showing the status of critical vehicle systems over time.
