            Abstract : 
In this paper we describe some of the work taking place in a system to create an affordable setup for a remote laboratory. The system utilizes HTML5 and JavaScript to make the user interface accessible on various platforms, including mobile devises and computers, without any additional software installation. The system comprises a remote laboratory for configuring and analyzing a simple power supply for electrical engineering students. Practical testing on the separate components shows the feasibility of the proposed solution. Previous versions of the remote laboratory has proven to be a valuable addition to the exercise program the students need to complete in order to fulfill the learning objectives in various modules run as part of an electrical engineering education.
