QUT Motorsport is an Australian Formula SAE team competing in the Formula SAE-A competition. Our Team is composed of students from a diverse field of degrees with a strong presence in engineering and business. Our project is to design, manufacture, manage, and market a single seater, electric race car for the FSAE-A competition. (QUT Motorsport Team at the 2019 Formula SAE Australasia Competition)QEV-3Each year our team designs, engineers and builds an electric race car for competition. Currently being developed is QUT Motorsport’s 2020 electric race car, QEV-3. Our members have been working hard throughout the year developing all aspects and ensuring the highest possible standards are met across the electrical, mechanical, software and business sides of our team. The vehicle runs off four 15kW electric brushless hub motors to provide control over all four wheels of the car. This drivetrain is powered by 720 LiFePo4 battery cells in a 30s24p configuration. This battery pack is capable of outputting nearly 3000A at a fully charged voltage of 108V. All of this is controlled by a series of custom PCB’s that are designed and manufactured by our team members.Our BoardsMany of our boards are custom designed to ensure a high degree of control over the functioning of our vehicle. Development of custom PCB’s, with industry standard software, also allow our team members to develop useful skill sets necessary in the electrical engineering workforce. The following are some of the major boards for our system: Accumulator Management System (AMS)The Accumulator Management System (AMS) is the main control board for our vehicle’s battery pack (Accumulator), and tractive (High Voltage) systems. This board takes in shutdown and fault signals from the rest of the car to ensure the battery pack is disconnected from the rest of the car in the event of an emergency. The board is designed in such a way that if any of the safety systems on the car trip, the Accumulator isolation relays will be forced open and cannot be closed again without resetting the car. (QEV-3 Accumulator Management System)Battery Management System (BMS)The Battery Management Systems (BMS) is a set of 12 boards that record temperature and voltage readings from each of the 12 segments of the Accumulator. If the temperature or voltage is found to be outside of set parameters, the BMS boards can send a fault signal via CANBUS to the AMS to shutdown the car. The BMS’ are also designed to transmit this data to an SD card on the AMS so that it can be analysed for improvement of the car’s tractive systems. (QEV-3 Battery Management System)Shutdown SystemThe Shutdown System is made up of a series of boards containing relays that are designed to open if any of the safety devices on the car are triggered. The opening of these relays cause the AMS to shut down the tractive system of the vehicle. Being designed in a modular way, it is very easy for the shutdown system of the car to be expanded, and more safety systems to be added.(QEV-3 Shutdown System)Chassis ControllerThe Chassis Controller, also commonly known as an ECU in most vehicles, collates all of the sensor data from the vehicle, and uses it to control its four individual motors. By adjusting how the car responds to certain inputs, we can implement features such as torque vectoring and traction control to ensure a controlled and enjoyable driving experience. (QEV-2 & QEV-3 Chassis Controller)Power Distribution Module (PDM)The Power Distribution Module (PDM) is in essence a very advanced fuse box. It is made up of specialised transistors that automatically open up if a certain system on the car draws too much current, or if the voltage of the General Low Voltage (GLV) system drops too low. This ensures safe usage of the car and prevents any potential failures in the system.(QEV-3 Power Distribution Module)

We are team of University students from the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. We design, engineer and assemble a racecar to compete in the Formula SAE competition. Our current car in design is a four wheel drive electric vehicle. It features a full student designed custom electric system including; the control systems and circuity, HV battery management and custom 15kW inverters. This year we are finishing our custom inverter design powering our four 15Kw electric motors. Operating MOSFETs at 14Khz in a trapezoidal control operation to keep up with our motors 42 poles.Currently we have a functional chassis controller as seen below which is based on the Atmega2560 controlling three CANBUS's for communication around the car. The controller also acts as the main input device for our custom pedals and steering wheel angle.We also have a functional Shutdown/Safety board which enforces compliance with FSAE rules on shutdown states and ultimately ensures driver safety. Utilising durable FSAE level vibration rated relay logic for guaranteed operation in all instances.Another visual example of our electrical system is our steering wheel control board that sits on the data CANBUS and displays driver selected and important information for the driver to see while they are traveling around the racetrack.Another piece of core circuity is our power distribution module. Using MOSFET's with added current sensing. Controlling our custom brake light, accumulator contactors, cooling loop pump and fans and ready to drive siren.All these mentioned are just some components that form our electrical system. All systems on the car need to be produced to a high standard to ensure the car can perform at its best in a safe manner. Most of these are the first working iteration and support from companies like PCB way mean we can keep developing and refining designs. Our team is unique in designing many of these parts ourselves rather than using off the shelf products.This would not be possible without the gracious support from industry. We are a team of the next generation of engineers hungry to develop the skills of the modern world.

We are InfraReady Robotics, a RoboCup Junior Open Soccer team. And we are developing a pair of robots to compete in the international competition in Sydney later this year. These robots have various revisions over last year’s systems, notably the sensors and the control system. We have redesigned our circuit board for our bottom level, our main circuit board and added an adaptor board so existing infrastructure can be reused. If you are interested we have a website at infrareadyrobotics.com which holds information about our prior years in RoboCup.Our new bottom circuit board includes 24 phototransistors (model) and LEDs (model) in a circle, this allows the robot to measure the amount of reflected light off the ground at each phototransistor. This allows our robot to figure out where lines are on the field as a white line will reflect a different amount of light compared to green carpet. Ultrasonic data is augmented with data from an optical mouse sensor to allow for positioning while other objects are in front of the ultrasonics. We redesigned our main circuit board to allow it directly interface with the camera and also to put the main microprocessor on the same board as the buttons, switches and connectors for all systems. The board acts as a hub and a controller and controls the adapter board, the bottom circuit board, the camera, the IMU and ultrasonics.We have developed a circuit board to adapt the existing motor driver circuit board, this circuit board uses a PCA9685 to control up to 16 PWM channels over I2C. This allows us to reuse our motor driver board from last year as we can controlWe have used PCBWay in the past and have been really happy with the quality circuit boards we have received as well as the speed of the manufacturing.

My name is Lachie. I am a Scout leader and Engineer. I have designed this board as a soldering kit for the Australian Scout Jamboree 2019 (AJ2019).AJ2019 is a 10 day camp for Scouts from all over Australia and even the World. There will be 8000 Scouts plus thousands of Leaders at this big event. Over 2000 Scouts will come through the HiTech soldering activity and build one of these boards.The HiTech soldering activity will teach Scouts to solder and aim to encourage interest in electronics by showing how accessible it is to everyone.Once built, the board has three functions:Simon Says Game. The LEDs flash in a short randomized sequence. The Scout then presses the corresponding buttons to those LEDs that flashed. The sequence gets longer and longer, getting harder and harder.Connecting Together. The USB connectors allow Scouts to connect two boards together. When connected, the boards share their unique ID number allowing them to keep track of how many other people they have connected with. This encourages the Scouts to meet people from all over Australia and even the World who are attending.Scores! The Scouts can then press a button sequence to display their Game Score or their Connections Score. The LEDs have numbers 100, 10 and 1 next to each. Scores are displayed by flashing the number of 100s, 10s and 1s of the number.This project is Open Source and can be viewed at the following links:https://workspace.circuitmaker.com/Projects/Details/Lachlan-Harper/AJ2019 https://github.com/lokthelok/aj2019-kitThe project uses a low cost PIC12LF1572-I/SN. A surface mount PIC and Battery Holder are used to be pre-assembled to reduce the complexity for the Scouts. Three buttons are connected to a single analog pin with a DAC circuit. LEDs are all driven off the three PWM channels. The USB connectors have a serial connection on the two data pins (not actually USB communication) which communicated between boards. Happy to share more information on the design if interested.### Words to PCBWayScouts is a community organisation aiming to educate children and create the leaders of tomorrow. As a community organisation, we appreciate any financial help we can. These boards will be ordered through PCBWay and have two surface mount components pre-assembled by PCBWay as well. A discount on PCB manufacture and/or assembly would allow us to better deliver this fantastic activity to the youth.Thank you for your consideration.

What is UQ Racing?UQ Racing is a Formula SAE team based within the University of Queensland. The team was established and competed in its first competition at Formula SAE Australasia 2001. There are approximately 30 undergraduate students from across UQ on the team at any time, with a range of backgrounds including engineering, business, commerce, marketing and IT.Formula SAE is a design competition organised by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The competition requires teams of students to design, develop and fabricate a small, Formula-style race car while adhering to a set of general design requirements and regulations. In total, over 500 teams worldwide compete in Formula SAE. There are over ten annual competitions held in seven countries, allowing teams from different regions of the world to compete against one another.It is important to note that FSAE is not a motor sports competition. The design requirements and regulations are open enough for different teams to develop and implement different race car design philosophies. This challenges students to think of new and innovative ideas, while ensuring the safety of all competitors.UQ Racing is able to provide students with practical educational opportunities, helping them to gain real world experience in project management, teamwork, finance and resource management, detailed engineering design and hands-on manufacturing in ateam environment.Our Electric Vehicle:We're current manufacturing our 2018 electric vehicle (EV), nicknamed Super Bee.Super Bee is rear wheel drive EV powered by a 60kW Axial Flux Three Phase Synchronous motor. This motor is controlled via our three phase inverter which is powered by the vehicles accumulator (battery pack). The accumulator has been designed and manufactured by our team from 756 18650 form factor lithium ion cells. The pack has custom electronics to monitor pack voltage and temperature ensuring we're operating safely at all times. The driveline is controlled via the EV driver control unit, another unit developed by UQ Racing. The EV driver control unit takes the driver pedal inputs which represent the requests for motor torque and braking/regen, then sends the appropriate control signals to the drivetrain in order to operate the car. Furthermore the driver controls provides several safety features, such as monitoring for faults in the pedal system.Electrical projects this year involve designing and manufacturing a custom battery management system using the LTC6812 battery stack monitoring IC. A new data aquisition rig for validating our aerodynamics package, based around load cells, anemometers and pitot tubes. Development of an updated version of the driver control unit with additional functionality to record sensor data. Design and manufacture of new temperature and voltage monitoring boards for the accumulator as well as research and design into the validity of running a custom motor for the car including the construction of a prototype and much more. Our Words to PCBWay:We're an undergraduate team of student who spend their free time trying to become better engineers by involving themselves in this project. We've been using PCBWay for a number of years in order to manufacture our custom PCBs for the car and couldn't be happier with the service they provide.This year we would like to reach out and ask if PCBWay would be interested in coming on board to sponsor our project? Any level of support is appreciated. I've attached our marketing prospectus which will give you some further insight into our project and the team. UQ Racing Marketing ProspectusWe're currently looking to manufacture a number of PCBs for our accumulator and would love if PCBWay could help us out in any way, i've attached the bill of materials as well as the gerber and altium files for the project in the link to documentation of this applicaiton and below in a google drive link.Gerber, BOM and Altium FilesKind Regards,Simon on behalf of UQ Racing

### DESCRIPTION ( Introduce yourserlf and your project)This project aims to create a rechargeable conversion of an existing glucose monitoring transmitter. I live with a person that has diabetes and want to use technical innovation to help people that live with diabetes.### TECHNICAL DETAILS (With project photos)The existing transmitter is epoxy encapsulated and the batteries last a few months. CNC milling is used to expose the batteries and then create a cavity that will hold the replacement LiPo battery, management circuitry and a waterproof charging connector. This cavity is approximately 25mm x 12mm and I have designed a PCB that contains a LiPo charge controller and voltage regulator to integrate with the existing transmitter circuitry. The completed device will be epoxy encapsulated to make it durable and waterproof.### Words to PCBWaySponsorship of this project will help hundreds of people that live with diabetes by making continuous glucose monitoring more affordable. It will also reduce the amount of medical waste by converting a disposable device into one that lasts for years

### DESCRIPTIONMy name is Joshua Tambunan and I am an electrical engineering and mathematics student at the University of Queensland. As part of my course, I am creating a WiTracker. It is a portable electronic device which can detect nearby Wi-Fi access points along with GPS and other local sensor readings. These readings are sent to a nearby server which is then displayed and formatting onto a computer (client.### TECHNICAL DETAILS (With project photos)The device sends packets containing:- A list of available WiFi access points, including SSID, BSSID and RSSI for each access point. - An indication of whether the device is outside or not, based on the measurement of UVA/UVB intensity. You are expected to roughly calibrate this yourself before submission. - The current temperature and humidity around the device (1C/1% resolution) - Latitude and longitude of the device if available. If this is not available, the packet should instead contain information about whether there was no GPS lock available, or the GPS has been disabled - The current device time as determined by an RTC - Current battery voltage### Words to PCBWayThank you for creating this opportunity for students like myself to showcase our projects and to be able to prototype them without breaking the bank :)

We are a Robocup Jr soccer team participating in the lightweight division. In order to neaten the robot, reduce errors and speed up the manufacturing process we utilise PCBs.Each match is comprises of 2 robots from each team facing of against one another. In the lightweight division, the robots have to detect a ball which emits IR. Our robots detect this light using 12 TSSP 53038.They are also required to stay within a certain area, marked by white lines. Our robots use 24 photodiodes to accurately detect the position of the line. To ensure reliabilty, we utilise PCBs to keep the wiring neat and accessible.We use 2 Teensy 3.5s for processing, and an OpenMV Cam M7. This is paired with a hyperbolic mirror for 360 degree vision. This givees the robot complete view of the playing area, allowing it to triangulate its position.Main PCB:Light PCB:As a team, we are excited about participating in Robocup Jr and are aiming for high results. As such, we are seeking sponsorship applications to allow us to use high quality components. Any help is much appreciated

Curtin University Formula SAE TeamWe are an FSAE-Australasian team who recently competed in the 2016 Formula Student competition in Melbourne with great success alongside other University teams. The team mainly consists of undergraduate Mechanical, Electrical and Mechatronic Engineers from Curtin University that design, test, and develop a combustion race car each year for the Formula Student Competition.Recent AchievementsIn 2016, we achieved the following: · 3rd place finish in the combustion category · 4th place finish overall out of the 32 teams that attended the Australasian competition· 10th in the global world rankings out of over 500 teams· Highest world ranked, Australian combustion team· Best Sportsmanship Award· Heavyweight Champion Award Community OutreachAs well as the competition, CMT is involved in numerous community outreach programs, both within Curtin and open days and talks in lectures to students, as well as career fairs in high schools.Some of our recent examples include:· WEETBIX - Kids TRYAthelon volunteers· HBF Run for a Reason· Kalamunda Careers Expo· Cars 4 Kids· Curtin Open Day Technical DetailsWe are one of the few FSAE teams that manufacture most of their electrical and electronic components from scratch. This year the main aspects of the electrical system will include the:· Power Distribution Module, used to control peripheral power to the various pumps and fans, as well as providing valuable diagnostics data · Safety shutdown circuits· Dashboard/Warning Display, giving the driver reliable information about how the car is performing mid race.· Strain gauge amplifiers, to provide valuable data for the mechanical team to validate their designs· Tyre Temperature Sensors, once again providing design validation, as well as vehicle setup and driver feedback data.· Battery, for remaining capacity and longevity information.· Telemetry Module, for live, trackside data readouts. For this year’s car, we have made the design transition from 2-layered PCBs to 4-layered PCBs in order to reduce the overall size and packaging of all electronic components on the car. This enables the entire car to be lighter, smaller and thus more competitive. We are also developing our first ever linux-based, customized datalogger which will be WiFi enabled, record all live CAN and analogue data and transmit it via our student built Telemetry module.Any sponsorship from PCBWay would be greatly appreciated and extremely useful to help us complete our technical goals this year as well as increasing the quality of research we can do in the coming months. A sponsorship would greatly expand our research and development capabilities; providing a higher quality and more competitive racecar and most importantly improve the collective knowledge and experience of our team.

### DESCRIPTION ( Introduce yourserlf and your project)I am a 4th year electrical engineering student at Monash University. As part of our course, we are required to undertake a year long project in an area of interest. My teammate and I have chosen to design a three phase voltage source inverter for implementation into an electric vehicle. We have the hope of being able to implement our inverter design into our Monash Motorsport teams electric cars entered in many competitions. ### TECHNICAL DETAILS (With project photos)Our inverter is set aside from the competition in its use of the new Silicon Carbide MOSFET technology. We shall be using three high performance SiC based MOSFET half bridges provided by Semikron, alongside their respective gate drivers. At completion of the project, we hope to attain an efficiency of greater than 99%, surpassing currently available off the shelf solutions. Flexibility in the design shall allow for ease of future upgrades and reconfiguration to suit a multitude of vehicles. The inverter shall eventually drive an Emrax 228 MVCC motor, up to competition limits of 80kW. This shall be achieved at a DC voltage level of 500V. Control of the inverter will take place on a TI Delfino micro controller, allowing for future implementation of advanced control algorithms. We are currently about to begin assembly, and are looking forward to seeing some real performance numbers from our design! The following photos show some 3D models of the inverter. We shall update shortly with some real pictures! ### Words to PCBWayIt would be a pleasure to work together with PCBWay as our preferred supplier to make this project a reality.

I am a teacher passionate about electronics and robots, i teach a robotics class in Australia and we are currently making a computer based drawing robot called a Polargraph. We are using Arduino's and motor shields to get the results we are after. But we want to step it up so that the robot is completely independent of a computer. We have contacted Sandy Noble that has designed a robot PolargraphSD and he has designed a board from scratched. We are wanting the same board for our robot so that we can also make the robot independent of computers. He has given us his design for us to manufacture but we are unable to afford the large manufacturing costs that it will take.We would like to have 1 board created and assembled so that we can plug on a touch screen shield and SD card reader. This way we can make the robot completely wireless from a computerWe would LOVE PCBway to create this board as we know the quality that your company can do. We have ordered small boards in the past and were very satisfied with the Quality.
