Implementation of an interactive remote laboratory platform for stepper motor experiments

In this study, a step motor training set is designed for educational purposes to resolve the lack of application on electrical machines and control techniques education. Forward and reverse rotation of the motor, application of half step and full step movement and speed control can be performed with designed microprocessor-based circuit and also via the prepared web interface through a data acquisition card. Engineering students can operate various remote equipments through the internet. The internet based laboratory permits experimentation independently of distance, in a way similar to what occurs in conventional laboratories.
