ECM/Engine Electronics Assembly

Subteam: ElectricalSubsystem: Custom ElectronicsAssembly: ECM/Engine Electronics AssemblyCars: CR21, CR22, CR25, CR26I

Purpose

Assembly line covering the ECU, datalogger and engine electronics.

Function

Groups the M150, the dash, the sensors that feed them and the BSPD.

Design Process

No part-specific design process is documented. The Custom Electronics subsystem design process applies: 1. Collect the sensor list from every subteam, agree location and type with the designer who needs the data. 2. Split sensors between ECU and dash based on which parameters are engine-critical. 3. Size the charging system and validate it. A custom current measurement board (50 A bidirectional sensing chip, inline on the rectifier-to-PDM wire) measured what the rectifier actually puts back. 4. Build the datalogging parameter list with rates, then check CAN bus load. 5. Validate on a mock endurance: average battery voltage 13.4 V, minimum 12.1 V excluding cranking on CR26I.
