The thesis is focused on developing a control system for a students project of racing car Falcon with pneumatic propulsion system. The electronic design was splitted into 4 standalone modules to increase reliability and mainain- ablitity of the system. The modules are engine control unit, power supply, human machine interface and speedometer. A CAN bus with customly designed communication protocol is used to interconnect these modules. Except the pneumatic circuit control the elekctronics takes care also about measuring the race related data (pressures in the pneumatic circuit, car speed, etc.). These values are stored on SD card and optionally sent over a wireless link to PC. In the second part of the thesis design of the firmware is described. For the debugging purposes a logging system was developed. The log messages from all modules are sent over CAN and stored on the SD card for post-mortem analysis. Unit tests were written for all elementary software blocks. The Falcon vehicle with this control system participated in the competition organised by the Hungarian company Aventics during May 2019. The Falcon ended on 8th place in long distance race and on 7th place in arcade race.
