Welcome to Controls
This is a guide for you (🫵) to get familiar with the Controls System of Longhorn Racing Solar (LHRS), also known as the University of Texas Solar Vehicle Team (UTSVT).
What is Controls?
Controls is a system (sub-team) of the Longhorn Racing Solar Organization. We specifically work on driver interactions and things that the driver will be controlling once in the car. Driver interactions include, but are not limited to, I/O of dashboard, lights, and motor.
