Mechatronics Homelab

Mechatronics and Robotics Homelab is ATmega128 microcontroller-based inter-related set of modules that are completed to a portable case. Various mechatronics and robotics experiments and exercises can be carried out with Homelab kit, ranging from a simple flashing light to a complex device construction. Homelab is primarily intended for schools, as it includes methodological material and exercises with solutions in addition to hardware. Homelab has been integrated into internet-based environment, which is aimed at students and teachers to allow interaction among the users. In short, the Homelab kit is a mobile tools suite with the purpose of learning and practicing at home, school or workplace.

Kodulabor have been developed in Tallinn Technical University and the Estonian company's cooperation with the European partner universities and Leonardo da Vinci program support. Homelab modules are bundled into different sets. The easiest suite, which teaches simple digital input and output operations, is called the Homelab basic kit. Sensors and Actuators module is an add-on module which contains set of sensors and motors. Full set includes both Homelab basic kit, Sensors and Actuators kit, as well as an additional modules.

Kodulabori baaskomplekti ja täiskomplekti saab edukalt kasutada lisaks eksperimentidele ka robotiehitamise baasplatvormina või muu mehhatroonikasüsteemi keskse juhtsüsteemina. Kodulabori versioonid on pidevas arengus ja aeg-ajalt tasub kontrollida, kas on ilmunud lisamooduleid või uuendusi. Samuti tasub kontrollida moodulite versiooni numbreid, mõningad harjutused ja näited võivad olla koostatud uuematele versioonidele. Oluline lisaväärtus Kodulaboril on tema veebiversioon Kauglabori näol. Kauglabor võimaldab Kodulabori riistvaraplatvormi kasutada läbi veebi.
