Electric Vehicle Test-bed! Using Arduino & Hardware Component

In this half-term project, I developed an electric vehicle test-bed. This will utilize just about everything you have learned throughout the term. If you think about how to structure the project before just writing code and building circuits, it will make your life easier.

This project was a great Arduino hardware learning experience. This final objective is not too hard but is much more complicated than it appears to be. Being able to fully integrated software with hardware and to drive multiple sensors and outputs simultaneously was quite challenging. First of all, it is because sensors can have library conflicts and required different power inputs and specific pins. In addition, the application need work in conjunction with the hardware smoothly if not, data can be mishandled, stack and overwhelm the entire system. Last but not least, every function need to run as optimized as possible, won’t affect others making the lag time bigger and harder to troubleshoot the system

This project has the following areas:

  1. Collision avoidance testing
  2. Dashboard development
  3. Security and Remote Control
  4. Sensor Implementation
