EXPERIENCE IN USING A PORTABLE LABORATORY FOR STUDYING ELECTRONICS, MICROCONTROLLER TECHNIQUES AND INDUSTRIAL CONTROLLERS

Abstract

The structure and experience of using a portable microcontroller laboratory based on boards of the Arduino family in the educational process of preparing bachelors in electrical engineering at the National University "Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic" is considered. The basic part of the laboratory is simple and low cost. The elements of a laboratory workshop on the study of electronics, interfacing microcontrollers with sensors, actuators, programming the behavior of control systems in C / C ++, Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram programming languages are described. The laboratory uses free software both for programming real objects (Arduino IDE) and for their simulation (UnoArduSim, TINKERCAD). The prospects for the integration of a portable laboratory into the information and control system of the university department, which trains specialists in the electrical engineering profile, are considered. Elements of a portable laboratory are used to control the equipment of the department and create remotely reconfigurable laboratory units.
