We've designed a board to take inputs from multiple sensors over and communicate them with a main vehicle computer via CAN. The data transmitted will be used by CalSol's 10th generation solar power vehicle, Excalibur, to make strategy decisions at race time. Onboard are sensors for humidity, temperature, pressure, an accelerometer, a thermopile sensor and a thermistor.
