Compute Architecture

Below outlines a high level overview of the WATonomous power system:

[{.confluence-embedded-image .confluence-external-resource}]

Note: The WATonomous power system will evolve over time. More sensors are to be added soon, which will expand on the power system. A link to the power distribution can be found here. Also, note that this is the intended power architecture for competition. For convenience, software teams have made quick changes to certain components. For example, the USB hub is sometimes powered directly from the Crystal Rugged, and the liquid cooling system also is powered by the Crystal Rugged.

All components are powered off the vehicle's two batteries (which is shown as the single 1kW source).

A description of current components is listed below:

1. Kill Switch
2. High Amperage Circuit Breakers
3. DC-DC Converter (12VDC to 24VDC)
4. Sine Wave Inverter (12VDC to 120VAC)
5. Circuit Breaker Bus (Range --> 10V -14V)
6. Crystal Rugged
7. Liquid Cooling Radiator
8. Ethernet Switch
9. USB Hub
10. Autonomous Control Unit
11. Sensors
