Work in progress - laboratory learning system for simultaneous multi-point environmental factors measurement

Abstract

The authors explore a new laboratory learning system for the simultaneous measurement of some environmental conditions such as temperature, noise and light by using wireless LAN system in a wide range of areas. The system contains a Control PC and Control Module which is comprised of voltage supply, communication part and measuring module. This research intends to develop software which controls the whole system, and it also plans to introduce the system into "Basic Experiments of Information Engineering on Environment Measurement". This system is beneficial to educational institutions because it will provide students opportunity to learn both software and hardware that include analogue and digital technology as well as wired and wireless system. In addition, students will be able to do programming, setting and measuring by themselves giving them a strong foundation not only in the basics of electronics, circuits and communication but also in the application of information technology
