Driver Controls
Description
The Driver Controls Interface is the bridge between the driver and vehicle's CAN bus. It accepts the driver's input, displays feedback on the vehicle's gauges and communicates with the powertrain via the CAN bus. We understand the need for flexibility surrounding these issues - as different vehicles have different driver controls and gauges, and different vehicle designers want different interfaces. In order to meet all these needs we have made both the hardware and the firmware for our driver controls completely open source.

Most functional modifications to the driver controls can be achieved by small changes to the microcontroller firmware. As such, we recommend using our hardware solution as a starting point for your own implementation.
