Abstract
The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) accelerated the technological advancement in the context of Education 4.0, since several educational institutions had their face-to-face activities suspended, recommending distance education as a measure to contain the spread of the virus and an alternative for the continuity of their activities. In distance learning, there is a difficulty in training students skills that are only acquired with practical experimentation in laboratories. In this context, this paper presents the development of an experimental platform of complementary support for teaching basic electricity concepts to high school or technical students, with remote access and control, which, unlike most solutions found in the literature, is implemented directly in a single-board microcontroller (SBC). For this purpose, a simpler and cheaper architecture is proposed (when compared to other remote laboratories). Finally, to improve the user experience, improving the intuitiveness and reducing the need for supervision or additional support, a graphical interface is developed in the form of a digital twin of the hands-on experiment.
