> The system is for a Formula SAE (FSAE) Electric style race car. FSAE is a collegiate competition, and I'm part of a US Pacific Northwest team. Our car uses a 550 V battery and is 4WD. Most of our electronics and firmware/software are in-house besides motors and inverters. I lead the telemetry project and work with 1-2 other members on the system.
> The system consists of an on-vehicle computer (Raspberry Pi or NXP i.MX) and a ground station (Rockchip RK3588S). We use Python heavily and the real-time dashboard part is done with InfluxDB and Grafana. Both computers and any user devices are on a Wi-Fi network made with a long-range WISP access point.
> Our team is unfortunately very light on public tech blogs and how I wished I can change that... There is plenty of information on FSAE electric cars, vehicle telemetry, and both on the internet and they were a source of inspiration as I designed my own solution.
