Simple modular system "iSES Remote Lab SDK" for creation of remote experiments accessible from PC, tablets and mobile phones: Workshop

Abstract

The goal of this workshop is to introduce open modular hardware and software system "iSES Remote Lab SDK" (iSES - internet School Experimental Studio) designed for easy creation of real remotely controlled laboratories (RCL) that are accessible from PC, tablets and mobile phones. Open modular system iSES Remote Lab SDK consists of approx. 20 freely distributable JavaScript objects in commented source code. Widgets are highly configurable and provide many well documented options and allow to build a complex measurement and control interface with data and video transfer. Open modular system iSES Remote Lab SDK can communicate with different measurement platforms (ISES, Arduino are ready; CMA CoachLab, Vernier etc. are tested), and also common universal measurement devices with a COM or USB port, further universal rotation and linear motion stepper motors, etc.). We will demonstrate our 18 online advanced remote labs accessible at www.ises.info. All participants of the workshop will receive a fully functional lite version of the iSES Remote Lab SDK for Arduino-Uno so they can try to control a physics experiment remotely, download data and process it. Any user may have an access to the RCL on PC and mobile devices (iPad, smart phone, etc.) as well. The workshop participants will build and test several Arduino-Uno Remote experiments by putting selected components of the iSES Remote Lab SDK together, which includes assembling both hardware and software components in a custom way so that any user can control the experiment remotely. Even non-programmers can build up a simple RCL and publish it in 15 minutes on the Internet! We introduce a new measurement system ISES-LAN which is based on Internet of Things.
