Wheel Speed Sensors for FSAE Racecar

I designed and machined aluminum mounts for hall effect wheel speed sensors. I assisted in the testing and electrical debugging of the sensors. Data from these sensors was used in real time to estimate slip for traction control, as well as in post-processing to validate vehicle simulations and inform design decisions.

• Measured RPM with hall effect sensors that detect steel encoder teeth.

• Provide accurate low-speed readings necessary for vehicle controls software.

• Achieved 1.2 kHz data at maximum rpm and quadrature operation.

• Iteratively designed housing using 3D printed prototypes and CNC machined aluminum parts.

• Created spindle adapter to enable sensor testing in collet on mill.
