Formula UFSM Dashboard

Team History

The Formula UFSM Team is a Formula SAE Team from Santa Maria, Brazil. We have competed in the Formula SAE Brasil competition since 2010, and have earned a spot in the American competition in the 2012, 2015 and 2021 seasons.

Recent results

In the 2022 season we achieved 4th place overall in our national competition, among more than 40 teams, and for next year our target is 1st place and competing in the USA once again.

Last years prototype was called Alpha, and achieved the national FSAE Acceleration record, with a time of 4.012s in 75m. Also, we placed top-3 in Engineering Design and Cost and Manufacture evaluations, helping us solidify our place as a top team in Brazil with top-4 finishes in the last 6 seasons.

Dashboard

In this new season, our team is developing a Dashboard with indicative LEDs, with the goal of allowing our driver to read information in a screen, and with the light coming from the LEDs is able to have an idea of the current engine load and ideal shift point. The whole assembly is housed in a 3d printed case.

The PCB houses the components needed to light only the corresponding LEDs, as well as handling the screen connection to the vehicle.
