Efficiency Challenge 2021, Kocaeli: the team's race vehicle

I developed the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU/ECU) and telemetry software in Python. Battery management system data was relayed wirelessly over LoRa and rendered on a Nextion touchscreen driven by Raspberry Pi.

Alongside the software I worked on the vehicle's electrical assembly: motor drivers, electronics and the onboard charging unit. This project is where my habit of reading the hardware underneath the software started.
