Tachometer Assembly

Subteam: ElectricalSubsystem: Custom ElectronicsAssembly: Tachometer AssemblyCars: CR21

Purpose

CR21 standalone tachometer.

Function

Superseded by the digital dash, which shows engine speed with a dynamic redline that changes when the engine is overheating or warming up.

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.
