Solar Challenge 2012 South Africa kicks off
Solar Challenge 2012 South Africa kicked off today at CSIR in Pretoria. Here are some clips of the cars as they leave the starting line:
Toby and I worked on an Android app which shows the speed, power etc. and will be used as the instrument cluster, (using the Samung Galaxy Tab 2) for the University of Johannesburg solar car. The app uses bluetooth to communicate with the car telemetry system and gives indication of power required, power applied, head lights, speed, warning lights etc.
