Rc Go Kart

The Purdue EVC Club's code for the Rc Go kart.

Setup

Currently using a red line 775 for the steering motor with a SparkMini as the motor controller. Then using a Rev Robotics Through Bore Encoder for the steering shaft's positioning. For the brakes we use a linear actuator with a potentiometer as the position sensor. For motor control we use a sevcon gen4 size 4 with an unknown decade old brushless dc motor. There is an stm32 controlling the entire kart. For the remote controller we use a FlySky ia10b receiver with a FlySky i6X for the transmitter.

Power

Power for all devices except the main motor is entirely from battery power passed through a 48v-12v/5v dc to dc converter. 12v is supplied to the front steering, braking and the stm32. 5v is supplied to all other devices on the kart. For the sevcon we use a keyed ignition start along with 2 estops in series connected to the contactor for the sevcon. Battery power is supplied directly to the sevcon through the contactor.
