Traction Control System
This microcontroller can calculate the best and most optimal steering angle and brake pressure from the data that the driver and the data the system collects from your vehicle.
Data needed:
– On/off
– Seat data
– Linear speed (absolute)
– Angular speed
Data outputted:
– Brake pressure
– Left wheel steering
– Right wheel steering
This system has been developed by me for quite a long time. It is also the exact system that I use for all of my creations and I love it, it has not once failed me to keep me relativly stable. It’s designed to let the driver still be able to control and make the car do what the driver wants. If the driver wants the car to drift, they can relativly easily do it.
What can the system do?
Well for starters, it can correct any steering mistakes and keep you stable, it also tried to not make the car brake too hard so the tires slide. It doesn’t end there tho! It can also let you "loose" control over the vehicle in a controlled drift that’s relativly easy to get out of. If there’s any issues with it, I’m more than happy to have a discussion about it with you!
How do I connect it?
It’s pretty simple, here’s how you do it:
1. Place your linear speed sensor anywhere you want and connect it to the linear speed input in the microcontroller
2. Place your angular speed sensor (preferebly in the middle of the car) and make sure to place it facing upwards with the + arrow facing right if you’re looking at it with the + and – arrows not facing you
3. Connect the seat composite data to the seat data input
4. Connect the on/off signal to the controller
5. Connect the brake output to the brakes on the wheels
6. Connect the left and right wheel outputs to the respective wheel
7. Tune it to your likings
Then you’re done!
Common issues & fixes
– It wobbles
FIX: Lower the corrective steer
– It oversteers
FIX: Lower the steering reduction factor
– The brakes are too weak/strong
FIX: increase/decrease the braking factor/braking multiplier
– It won’t work
FIX: Read the description
– It turns the other way when correcting the steering
FIX: Read the description
As you see, a few issues are caused by people not bothering to read the description, and if you do not do that, it might end up worse with it than without it.
