Abstract

The concept of remote laboratories exists for some time with an increasing importance for contemporary education in various fields and at various levels. Advance of remote labs is based on technology development and conceptual improvements with possible mutual influences such as when new technologies make new concepts possible. Arduino is a family of small inexpensive single board computers (SBC) based on microcontrollers with added Linux platforms on some boards for improved processing and Internet accessibility. A number of other brands with quite similar concepts exist, with Arduino as one of very well-known and widespread. Arduino based remote lab concept relies on “Arduino only” implementation which is possible for many not too demanding applications. Such concept has many implications like project cheap price, small consumption, autonomy, small dimensions, low installation requirements and similar. This paper discusses some Arduino based remote experiments in physics and engineering.
