Project Overview
Did you ever see the Formula cars around campus and think "wow, those are cool, I wonder what goes into them"? If you are answering yes to any of these questions then now is your chance to be a part of the making the fastest vehicle on campus even faster.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_control_unitThis is the third year in development of the Engine Control Unit (ECU) with the goal to put an RIT ECU on the Formula Car this year. The motivations are to showcase RIT's student engineering talent, enable the Formula team to custom tune their engine and replace the high cost purchased ECU units in the future. The current ECU (MoTeC's M400) though programmable is basically a black box and dictates engine component interfaces and devices.
