Brake Light Housing

Subteam: ElectricalSubsystem: BSPDAssembly: Brake Light AssemblyCars: CR22, CR25, CR26I, CR26E

Purpose

Holds and protects the brake light PCB and mounts it to the car.

Function

A machined part providing the interface between the component and the structure, positioning it accurately enough that the designed geometry is what the car actually has.

Design Process

No part-specific design process is documented. The BSPD subsystem design process applies: 1. Establish the rules requirement and the thresholds from real vehicle data (brake pressure at which hard braking is unambiguous, throttle position of 10%). 2. Schematic capture in Altium, split into the main connector, reset subcircuit, signal loss subcircuit, simultaneous brake and throttle subcircuit, and the fault and latching subcircuit. 3. Lay out the board, push to MCAD, design the case. 4. Manufacture and bench test each subcircuit. 5. Validate on the car by observing PDM outputs: output 1 (ignition), output 11 (injectors), output 5 (fuel pump) all drop for the fault duration.

Manufacturing Process

Milled on the CNC.
