Zancle E-Drive Formula Student Team

Zancle E-Drive Formula Student Team

Introduction

Born in 2020, Zancle E-Drive is the first university team in Sicily (Italy) that aims to participate in the international Formula SAE competition by creating an electric driverless car.

The Zancle E-Drive team is made up of over 40 students from all over the University of Messina (Italy) that put into practice varied knowledge in order to achieve a common result.

Formula SAE is a student competition involving the engineering departments of universities around the world and is organized by SAE International. The concept on which it is based is to create a situation in which university students must develop a race car that will be evaluated through tests in order to promote track safety and problem solving skills of the various teams participating in the competition.Our Formula SAE car that is in the design process will be electric, equipped with 4 engines, one for each wheel.

The whole team works together to design a Formula SAE car that is performing, in terms of control, acceleration, speed and reliability but above all that meets all the requirements of economic feasibility evaluated through cost analysis and business plan.

Our Pcbs

Chargher Board

This PCB is responsible for controlling and managing the car's battery charger, giving the user the ability to manually select voltage and/or current or use automatic programs. Additionally, the board also allows interaction with safety systems placed within the battery pack, and in case of errors, it can disconnect the charger. This board will be connected with a stm32 F767ZI and a 16x2 LCD display.
