Conception and Implementation of an IoT System for Remote Practical Works in Open Access University’s Electronic Laboratories

Abstract

The courses and disciplines in the exact sciences are based on practical work (PW) which complements the theoretical teaching. Remote Labs are a recent approach used for educating experimental manipulations by using the performance of information and communication technologies. This work aims to propose the design of an IoT system allowing several remote manipulations in analog electronics. This solution is mainly based on the Red Pitaya STEMLab board, in particular for communication and remote control for measurements and data acquisition through different protocols. The low-cost system provides an intelligent selection between the different integrated practical works on a developed board, as well as other ones carried out externally as extensions according to the professor's needs. The analysis of the integrated manipulations was done taking into account the minimum latency of the remote control as well as its portability to save time, space, and money without loss of quality and quantity. The presented results relate to a PW of analog electronics, a “RC charging and discharging circuit” has been considered for a comparison of this Remote system with the same PW performed by the classical method "hands-on laboratory". Our purpose in this study is the development of a control system to maximize the available resource as well as to improve self-learning ability in the electronic field.

Determinants of Air Quality in Building Environments: A Multi-Regression Analysis and Implications for Open Teaching Practices

“…Open teaching is characterized as a significant departure from conventional pedagogical approaches, prioritizing accessibility, collaboration, and transparency. This approach encompasses integrating open resources, implementing open policies, and involving an extended community in the pedagogical process [18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Platform for hands-on remote labs based on the ESP32 and NOD-red

“… IoT System for Remote Practical Works: the IoT system for remote practical works is mainly based on the Red Pitaya card. The remote communication is done by the RIP protocol for the control and acquisition of measured data, with the use of an electronic card so the teachers can choose the practical works for students [18] . IoT4SMEs: based on MATLAB, integrated via ViSH is a social and collaborative platform based on creating and sharing virtual learning resources [19] .…”

Implementation of zk-SNARK HH Authentication on IoT Protocols

“…Internet of things (IoT) allows users to manage several devices remotely simultaneously through the internet [1] and applied in various applications such as in health [2], education [3], agriculture [4] and so on. All components are linked through communication in the form of data and information exchange between devices based on rules, format, and functions understood by the devices.…”
