Formula Kentucky Sensor Board v1.1

Formula Kentucky is University of Kentucky’s Formula SAE team. We’re a student organization which designs and builds an open-wheeled race car, then enters it in a design and race competition against other student groups from around the world.

To help validate and improve our designs, we need data from the car. To get this data, we are implementing a Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Logging system to record data from sensors on the car. Data from sensors has to be translated to CAN messages before it can be sent to the data logger, and that is what this project does. This PCB uses a Teensy 3.2 to process data from a sensor, translate it to a CAN message, and send it to the data logger. To reduce weight and space, both things that help improve our car, this board was made as small as possible.
