Abstract

This paper presents a novel platform for electrical circuits applied for educational purposes based on an Arduino and Matlab-Simulink. The platform components are given by hardware setup and software setup that integrated the platform are described. Performance of the platform is assessed by means of real-time experiments using ArduinoIO package for first order and second order electrical circuits. The platform is easy to implement and to interface with any computer and can be carried home by students, opening new possibilities for practical assignments in electrical circuits, dynamic of systems and control courses. We include experiments and studied topics during various practices which the platform was demonstrated during the SARS CoV-2 pandemic.
