Abstract
A single board heater system to provide a hands-on capability to control system students is presented. Using this device, it is possible to carry out all experiments that one typically needs in a first control course. It is made accessible by enabling it to work with the free software Scilab. Results from a few experiments are listed. Remote access of this device using LabVIEW is also presented. The details and the logic of the design of this device is presented. Its design is released as open source and is also available for purchase at $50.
