Hyperloop pod side-door control and sense board
Overview
The door-control board will connect a small uC to an electromagnet via an isolated relay, in order to lock the door, and a small switch, in order to sense if the door is open or not. In addition to this, the uC will connect to a CAN interface chip in order to communicate with the rest of the pod. A small board is required to encompass all of this.
