USC Formula SAE Racing Team Dashboard
Real-time telemetry and data platform for USC's Formula SAE car. Streams live sensor data over WebSockets, manages configuration across ~10 subteams through YAML-driven forms, and auto-injects test configs before every run.
Architecture
Three Docker containers behind a Caddy reverse proxy with auto-HTTPS:
- Frontend — Next.js 14, shadcn/ui, Tailwind, Recharts
- Backend — FastAPI, SQLModel, SQLite, JWT auth, WebSocket telemetry
- Infra — Caddy TLS termination, volume-mounted SQLite
Key Systems
- Live telemetry — DAQ pushes JSON frames over WebSocket; the frontend renders configurable charts with auto-reconnect and exponential backoff
- YAML-driven forms — each config file defines field types, tab layout, lookback diffs, and stale-data warnings
- LDX injection — a file watcher writes current form state into
.ldxXML configs before each test run - Access control — per-user subteam scoping; every mutation logged with user, timestamp, and diff
Source coming soon.
