INTRODUCTION
A display system constitutes an essential part of every automobile we see today. It is an
essential driver aid which helps indicate important parameters like RPM, ground speed, fuel
level, engine temperature etc. A more sophisticated system than the display system is the
Data Acquisition system which we dont see in most commercial cars, but is a game changer
when it comes to Motorsport Racing. A race-car packs a lot of sensors during one of its
outings and data coming from every sensor needs to be perfectly recorded. This aids teams
to improve their performance and prevent mistakes.

SYSTEM OUTLINE AND APPROACH

Sensors will be fed to a multi-channel ADC where the inputs will be multiplexed and read by
the Microcontroller. The Microcontroller will process these inputs and store the required
contents in an SD Card. KeiluVision will be used for the programming and either a
programmer or Flash Magic will be used to burn the code onto the IC
