Implementation of Reusable Solutions for Remote Laboratory Development

Abstract

Abstract-Development of remote laboratory for embedded systems complex hardware/software design is an actual task, because the challenges existing in this area, require qualitatively new techniques, technologies and tools of design. By using the possibilities of remote labs and reusable hardware/software components, developer can more optimally organize the project and realize it in a shorter time. Development and usage of remote labs for designers can give new opportunities and ways for accumulation and study of existing design experience and ready solutions. On the other side, today, in the area of remote laboratories development are no common standards and approaches. Different developers offer different solutions for laboratory functionality, interfaces, a set of experiments, etc. At the same time, there are a number of ready-made solutions that can be used repeatedly for more optimal development and rapid integration with existing projects. Therefore, investigation and implementation of re-use methodology and its practical realization is an urgent task. The paper presents the structural components and API of remote laboratory RELDES, proposed for reuse in other projects for creation of mobile applications, new clients or services. Open questions of RESTful API documenting are also discussed.Index Terms-embedded systems design; remote laboratory; software/hardware components reuse; API; RESTrequest.

Enhancing EJsS with Extension Plugins

“…We have selected Flask, instead of other popular and featureful web development frameworks such as Django, Tornado and CherryPy, since Flask is a popular framework for web applications developed in Python; it allows the easy set-up, testing and debugging of a minimal server; and can be deployed in different OS and platforms, such as a PC or a Raspberry PI, either as a standalone server or integrated into another web server such as Apache or Nginx. We have selected the REST API for letting the client -EJsS -interact with the lab server that we have developed, since it provides a standardized way to support HTTP requests, which is already used in other remote lab implementations [45][46][47]. Finally, as a discussion of laboratories technologies is out of the scope of this paper, we suggest the following works [4,40] to those readers specifically interested in them.…”

Development of Microcontroller-Based System for Background Radiation Monitoring

“…The algorithm of the microcontroller system operation for monitoring background radiation is shown in Figure 2 . When the microcontroller software (firmware) starts, it performs its initial setup and initialization of the parameters of the dosimeter-radiometer, LCD, serial interface, and I/O ports of the Arduino Uno board [ 13 ].…”

The Remote Experimentation as the Practical-Oriented Basis of Inclusive Engineering Education

“…6) allows students to acquire knowledge and practical skills in the area of embedded systems (ES) design. Several remote experiments in the field of ES for controlling mobile objects using Arduino, LED traffic light, servomotors, LCD and TFT displays, ultrasonic sensors are proposed for users [27][28][29].…”
