Paper Abstract:
|
This paper proposes a novel educational support system for electronic circuit experiments in technological education. A
mobile computer monitors circuits made by students during experiments and transmits video data of the circuit to a remote
analysis system. The analysis system automatically recognizes the circuit components connected on a breadboard one
after another in real-time by using moving image processing, and translates the circuit into a general circuit-description
language (SPICE), which allows simulation of the circuit operation based on the translated SPICE information. This
information is downloaded to the mobile computer, allowing the students to check the behavior of the circuit on their
computer display and discover any circuit errors in real time. Thus, the system improves the efficiency and safety of
experiments involving circuit construction. This system can be applied in remote experimental education. This study
demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed system by applying it to a basic electronic circuit. |
