Universal Automotive Computer ET 493 Created by Logan Paul Lamonte Advised by Dr. Koutsougeras & Dr. Saadeh

Abstract Design a computer that can be retrofitted into classic cars, to add features of modern life such as : Keyless Push to Start Data logging Interior Comfort features Control from a Mobile Application Engine monitoring

Basic Design Centrally Controlled by an Atmel 2560 Programmed by Atmel Studio Consolidated to one custom made PCB Incorporate current design standards for features such as OBD2

Keyless Start Authenticate with the Atmel 2560 via NFC Momentary Start/Stop button that can differentiate between Starting and Stopping commands NFC does not require batteries User Specific Identifiers Multiple card styles available

Data Logging Onboard three axis accelerometer – X, Y, & Z axis Uses & Applications Car Security Track Performance Data Crash Sensing Turn Sensing Suspension Frequency Analysis Currently used by Ford Mustangs ->

Mobile Application Communicate via Bluetooth to a device Control lighting (Brightness and Color) View Performance data from accelerometer View Engine parameters such as oil pressure and temperature View Potential faults in OBD2 code format

RGB LED lighting Interior lighting can be controlled from the dash or Mobile application Infinitely color changeable Driven on a pixel by pixel basis Used on Footwells Gauges Switches Ford MyColor

Engine Monitoring Monitor vital systems such as water temperature and oil pressure Control cooling fans using PWM to maintain 165*F Use data as permissive for other systems such as engine start Failure Codes for sensor issues and engine issues

Other Controls Blinkers Exterior Lights Engine Ignition Starter Fuel Pump Horn Wipers

Deliverables Semester 1 Completed Hardware, Printed PCBs assembled with full functionality Ability to monitor input data Simple Bluetooth Communication to the Atmel2560 PWM fan control RGB LEDs control NFC Communication

Deliverables Semester 2 Develop full software to perform tasks explained in the proposal Design an application for Android or iOS that can communicate with the computer via Bluetooth Install in a car and perform testing Add features with remaining time such as utilizing individually controlled RGB LEDs

Methods to obtain deliverables Finalize the selection of components Develop schematics for each building block Prototype each section Design PCB layouts of each section Design final PCB Assemble PCB Perform basic quality checks
