EMI AND SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SOLAR MINER IV TELEMETRY PROCESSOR

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 18-21, 2004 / Town & Country Resort, San Diego, California / The UMR Solar Car uses a telemetry processor to collect, compute, and transmit data to the
driver of the car and a nearby chase vehicle. The original processor had deteriorated from
environmental extremes and vibration. There were also problems with electromagnetic
interference from the high efficiency electric motor switching electronics, difficulties with the
many unplanned additions made to the processor in the field, and the unstructured software that
was becoming difficult to maintain. This project consists of creating a replacement telemetry
system that is more robust mechanically, and electrically, substantially improving the EMI
performance of the device, and reworking the hardware and software to make it easier to
maintain and upgrade.
