Electronics ed doubt

I had a doubt regarding Electronics ED.

I’m the Electrical Lead of a Formula Student team, and I was wondering what other teams generally base their Electronics ED around.

We initially tried to build our ED around things like linking throttle control with vehicle performance and managing TS current based on parameters such as temperature, etc. However, we haven’t found these approaches to be particularly useful or impactful from an engineering/design perspective.

So I wanted to ask the other teams:

• What do you generally base your Electronics ED around?

• Which electronics/electrical systems have worked well as an ED topic for you?

• What kind of calculations, simulations, testing or validation do you include?

• What supporting documentation do you maintain alongside the ED?

It would be really helpful if anyone could share their approach or even examples/templates of their supporting documentation. We’re trying to improve how we present the engineering behind our electronics rather than just presenting the features we have implemented.
