This board handles pedals inputs, robustly detects connection failures, reads brake line pressure, and relays data to other boards.

Requirements

  • Hardware

    • Step down & supply power to

      • 1x Accelerator pedal

      • 1x Brake pedal

      • 3x Brakeline sensors

    • Read position of accelerator pedal (potentiometer)

    • Read if brake pedal is pressed (potentiometer)

    • Sense if pedals are disconnected

    • Pull down pedals pins

    • 5 ADC connections, 1 CAN connection

  • Software

    • Publish pedal displacement information on Car CAN (for VCU and telem)

    • Publish brakeline sensor readings on Car CAN (for VCU and telem)

    • Detect 0V and inconsistencies in brake pedal/brakeline and throw error
