Overview

This is the design document for the Dashboard redesign for Daybreak.

Problemo

The current dashboard is very messy and suboptimal, needs to be fixed.

Ideas

There are 2 main ideas for the redesign. Either a giant PCB that is the entire dashboard, or a modular design where the physical dashboard is laser cut or something, and there is a breakout board that can be placed wherever is most optimal for wiring

Solution

This will be successful if it looks cool and works well

Design options

There are 2 main ways of doing this redesign

	Option 1 - Big PCB	Option 2 - Modular Setup

	Option 1 - Big PCB	Option 2 - Modular Setup
Overview	Essentially the Dashboard is just a giant PCB and will have connectors on it to where things need to be connected	The buttons and peripherals are separate from the PCB, and will be short distance wired to a smaller breakout PCB that will be secured somewhere behind the dashboard
Pros and cons	Simplicity Less Wires Not modular

Dashboard Requirements

Backup Monitor
Main Monitor
Supplemental Battery On/Off Switch
Turn signal switches
Regen Button
Cruse Enable/Disable & Set
Ignition Switch
BPS Fault LED
Gear
Connectors for the big switch in the middle
Turn indicators come from different board.
– No display connection due to different pwr & gnd isolation and noise isolation for data transfer, would end up being just a input connector to output connector.

New additions

Fan connection
