Abstract

Data Acquisition Device (DAQ) is an electronic component used in formula student vehicles. To optimize the performance of the formula student vehicle and its driver, it is necessary to analyze and monitor the data acquisition system. Parameters acquired on the car include the position of the brake pedal/throttole and wheel speed.DAQ system has 5 input channels namely 3 analog input pins and 2 digital input pins, and 3 output channels, which is the controller pin, fault pin, and brake light pin. The DAQ system in this research is designed and made using Teensy 3.6, a signal conditioning circuit consisting of an RC low pass filter, voltage follower, non-inverting amplifier, and logic level shifter. DAQ system uses CANBUS to read and process sensor data.             DAQ system can acquire data from the KTC Linear Motion Position sensor PZ-12-A-50P with an accuracy value of 99,91%; Hall-effect Rotary Position sensor RTY120LVNAX with an accuracy value of 99,94% for both the first and second sensors; and Proximity sensor LJ12A3-4-Z/BX with an accuracy value of 99,58% for the first sensor and 99,46% for the second sensor. DAQ is able to run controller signal processing, detect faults, and activate brake light signal according to FSAE rules.
