This Monday, CalSol received a second run of PCBs! We would like to thank Advanced Circuits for their continued generous support of the Impulse project. The new boards are a revision of the system we successfully prototyped at end of last semester with numerous improvements, bug fixes and additions. We added PCBs for brake lights

Thanks to excellent cooperation and support from our sponsor Advanced Circuits, CalSol received 50 custom controllers known as BRAINs (Berkeley Robust Automotive Interchangeable Node).

CalSol would like to thank Diptrace for the generous donation of several licences of their Schematic and PCB layout software. Thanks to this,we will be able to continue to design modules for our electrical system,which include driver controls, safety features and telemetry, to name a few. The highly useful and easy-to-use design software should enable
