Hi everyone,
I just thought I would post here to see if anyone could help me further my research into Automotive Control & System Diagnostics.
Basically I am in Uni at Bristol studying electronic engineering. We have been put into groups of 8 where we have to work as a team to design and build a control system for an electric scooter.
Basically we need to implement a console which displays information such as speed, mileage, battery life, indicators and systems diagnostics etc.
I was just wondering if anyone here had ever has any knowledge or experience in this field and if they could pass on some advice which they think would be useful.
I have heard quite a lot of talk about a technology called CAN which admittedly I haven't read up on what exactly it is yet.
For my set task this week along with one other member of my group we have to do some research on System Diagnostics.
To be honest I dont really know what kind of things a system diagnostic would be sensing for. I know I should look into a system that will report faults on the electric motor (how you do that exactly I do not know) and maybe check for faults the battery, but apart from that Im lost.
Anyone able to advise me on what kind of faults I will need to be sensing for on an electric scooter and how exactly I would go about sensing for it.
I guess I would use a microcontroller to process the signals, but need advice on sensing device etc.
Thank you for your time,
Rob
