Caladena Group sponsored the McGill University Racing Team's PCB

assembly at the Formula SAE series competition, Brooklyn, MI from May 14

to 18, 2008. The printed circuit board assembly Caladena made for the racing

car was called an ECU (Electronic Control Unit).

The McGill Racing Team site describes the ECU as follows:

"The ECU is primarily used to control the engine injection and ignition.

It uses analog electronic devices to measure crankshaft angular

velocity, manifold air pressure, throttle position, oxygen content in

exhaust gases and engine temperature.

Moreover, ECU acts as a real-time data acquisition system. It sends RPM,

speed and engine temperature readings on a serial link to our steering

wheel mounted PDA. It also sends RPM and gear PWM signals that activate

our steering shifting-lights and gear-position-lights."
