-# Telemtetry for the Formula Student
+# Telemetry for the Formula Student
 ## Telemetry
 Telemetry is a technology that enables remote measurement and monitoring.This technology is interesting for a race vehicle as it allows live readings from the car's sensors to be monitored directly from the side of the track. With such a system, the data from all the sensors are easily accessible, and the engineers can adjust the car's parameters during the test sessions to increase the car's performance. A telemetry system is also helpful in improving the driver's skills, providing measurements such as GPS, speed, pedal level, steering angle, etc. Direct visualization of measurements also allows problems to be identified before they can cause an accident or damage the car.
 ## Bachelor's Project
-This project aims to develop and test a telemetry system for the Formula Student car of the HES-SO Valais-Wallis. This thesis deals with the embedded part of the system and the communication with the remote PC. This project was carried out in collaboration with a Business Information Technology student working on the software to display the telemetry system's data.

+## MSE PA - Optimizations
+This project aimed to enhance the existing system by incorporating additional functionalities
+and improving its performance. The objectives of the project are as follows :
+- **Addition of a Configurable Filter for the CAN Bus:** The objective of this
+section is to implement a filter on the CAN input to allow the passage of other
+messages without compromising the performance of the telemetry system.
+- **Telemetry System Control via CAN Bus:**
+ Currently, recording is initiated and
+stopped using a button connected to the system. The objective of this section
+is to add the capability to control these functions via the CAN bus.
+- **Integration of Time and Date:** The objective of this section is to replace the
+current timestamp (relative time since recording started) with absolute time.
+- **System Optimization to Enable the Recording of More Data at a Higher
+Frequency:** The goal of this section is to push the limits of the number of CAN
+messages the system can handle and increase the recording frequency on the SD
+card.
+
+The first two points will be implemented on the existing hardware. This is because
+the VRT team will need these modifications for the summer 2024 races, and these
+optimisations do not require new hardware. For the last two points, the same hardware
+is reused, but it is duplicated in order to have one device for the transmission and the
+other for the recording.

 The telemetry device is connected to the sensors on the car's CAN bus. The
 device also includes a GPS module. The CAN bus and GPS module data are
