Low cost pedagogic device for practical works using embedded system.

This paper discusses design and implementation of an operational architecture of practical work remote controlled using embedded systems. This architecture relates to university courses in electronics, such as new approaches of low-cost remote labs. Students can access these labs from a local network in the university at any time and frequently compared to conventional teaching, without being fixed by the conventional schedule. This strategy can solve the problems related to the big number of registrants in Moroccan Faculties, particularly in open access institutions. The hardware and software parts of this prototype are presented and analyzed because they can be generalized in other disciplines. The hardware part is formed with a Arduino microcontroller, which controls an electronic manipulation of a single-phase rectifier, considered as example of a remote controlled manipulation. The evaluation of this educational system is performed by students in the discipline of electronics and industrial systems, which shows the benefits of this realization.
