Driver’s interface of the racing car

The paper presents the design of the driver’s desktop for the racing car. The first part of the article reviews the available interfaces of the driver used in the racing cars. The examples of steering wheels with the implemented systems that enable the driver to control the selected parameters of the vehicle were presented. The necessary components of the driver’s desktop were set out, which should be applied in the designed system. The second part of the paper presented the idea schemes of the electrical circuits of the applied modules. The focus was mainly on the elements that enable the information to the driver on the current parameters of the car. The support for the LED and LCD displays and the UART module designed for communication were implemented. The interface presented in the paper was developed for the purpose of using it in the racing car of the Formula Student class
