Honorable Mention
Solar-Powered Car Control System

This project effectively controls the electrical system of a solar-powered race car. The lightweight system monitors the energy coming from the solar array, regulates the vehicle’s speed, and keeps track of the voltage and temperature of every battery. An eZ80F91 microcontroller runs an LCD used to display status information. Using Bluetooth technology, the MCU also sends the data wirelessly to the pit crew’s laptop so the car can be monitored in real time.
