Abstract
Lessons in the classroom cannot often give sufficient time to teach students the necessary practice for learning. Towards this lack of time, a kit that can generate pulses for different dc-dc converter is made in order to facilitate learning and help the teacher. And it will be better if this kit is controlled by an Android device communicating with a computer. This can take the students´ attention by the use of modern tools that are used in their day-to-day, all through USB (Universal Serial Bus) communication, present on most computers produced in the last 10 years. In the study all the required steps to build the kit are shown, divided into three stages, hardware, firmware and software.
