Digital case
With the digital case, you can teach the basics of digital technology in clear experiments. Starting with the basics of logic operations, the basic elements of digital technology are easy to understand. Building on the basic elements, combinations and the function of more complex circuits are then constructed and analysed.
The digital case includes a logic analyser with backlighting, which can be used to visualise all the signals of the digital circuits. This enables the learner to analyse and understand the functions of the digital circuits even during fast processes. The system can be updated easily and cost-effectively in the event of further developments in semiconductor technology thanks to the interchangeable test circuit boards. The universal circuit boards can also be used to realise further experiments with your own semiconductor components.
Microcontroller add-on kit
The microcontroller technology add-on kit uses a microcontroller board that is based on the widely used Arduino Uno development platform and is fully compatible with it.
These experimental circuit boards can be used on the mobileLab digital case. They are an ideal extension to the digital technology basics, teaching the transition from discrete digital circuits to programmed logic with simple experiments. For example, the basic logic operations are first realised as programmed functions. Building on these basic elements, more complex programmes with time functions and sequence controls are then developed. The experimental circuit boards are supplied with 5 V DC from the mobileLab carrier system. The microcontroller board is connected to a PC via a USB cable. The 2 mm laboratory cables supplied with the mobileLab digital case are used to set up the experimental circuits.
The separately available experiment instructions contain numerous programme examples and tasks for self-programming. The instructor's booklet contains the sample solutions for the tasks in the experiment instructions. You will also receive access to download the sample solutions as files. This allows you to simply load the programmes onto the microcontroller and test whether your circuit setup works correctly.
Note: The corresponding documents are available under ‘Documents’ and are not included in the scope of delivery.
mobileLab® is suitable for use in both in-company training and school lessons. Due to its occupation-neutral orientation, the system is ideal for vocational schools or training centres, as a large number of expensive occupation-specific specialist room equipment can be dispensed with. Learning objects and the context can also be used to impart in-depth specialised knowledge.
