Abstract
This document presents the development of a remote lab for teaching mechanical principles based on Galileo's Inclined Plane Experiment. The prototype was built making use of open hardware and software solutions in order to facilitate its replication. It uses Raspberry Pi to retrieve data from sensors and send commands to actuators connected to it, and provide video streaming from a generic webcam. Thus, the remote experimentation using mobile or conventional devices makes it easier to understand the movement of bodies for a wide range of users.
