General Info

A part of diploma thesis focused on automotive simulation and design.
System combining magnetorheological dampers and air suspension.
Not great, not terrible rather terrible in terms of code.
Though, the code itself was not the main focus at the time.

Technologies

• C++
• Arduino

Features

1. Arduino board utilising data collected from accelerometer and rangefinder.
2. LCD Display showing real-time values and current setup.
3. LEDs showing suspension modes.
4. Console app retreiving and parsing data from *.txt files
   (AMESim Simulation outcome simulating actual driving conditions - road texture etc.).
5. USB serial communication of the console app with Arduino Board simulating actual driving conditions.
6. LCD screen showing values (air pressure) in 4 air springs and stiffnes of the MR Dampers.
