A few minutes ago, KTH Racing successfully completed the registration for the Formula Student Electric (FSE) competition in Hockenheim, Germany.

The competition takes place on the Formula 1 track in Hockenheim, Germany, and is one of the most prestigious Formula Student competitions in the world.

KTH Racing is looking forward to spending a few days competing in Germany in the first week of August, 2012! =)

Last week we got a FPGA DE0-nano board donated by Altera. It will be used with additional self developed hardware to create a torque vectoring solution. CAN bus will be integrated. To get the code for the FPGA a torque vectoring control loop will be simulated in Matlab Simulink.

Thanks to Altera!

Here's a picture of the SpaceExplorer 3D mouse devices that 3DCONNEXION is sponsoring us with. They will really help the team when working with Autodesk Inventor designing the new car. To find out more about 3DCONNEXION visit their website at: http://www.3dconnexion.eu

KTH Racing just recently received a new server from HP. We are proud to have HP as one of our sponsors and to be able to use their high performance equipment for our IT environment. The new server is a HP ProLiant G6, and it’s a step up in performance from our old server witch was a ProLiant G4. The sever is right now being set up with al the necessary software and was placed in a rack in the M-building at KTH Campus Valhallavägen last Friday.

A big thanks to HP for providing us with this server, it will really help the team to performing at it’s best in this year.
