A visual chaotic system simulation in Arduino platform controlled by Android app

Abstract

The application of computer and electronic technologies has grown extensively in recent years being a useful tool for teaching in various fields of knowledge. The use of these technologies aims at bridging the gap between theory and practice, improving learning outcomes. This work demonstrates the project of didactic prototype based on the Arduino platform to study and teach nonlinear dynamical systems. The teaching platform presented here aims at providing visual effects and better understanding of basic concepts of nonlinear dynamical systems, such as chaos. It is also demonstrated when the data loses the precision, also in a visual setup. Additionally, input data may be configured by wireless communication, which makes it very attractive for young students.
