Remote Control of a Digital Oscilloscope for Use in Distance Learning

This paper presents the development of a remote laboratory system for distance learning applications, designed to replicate hands-on experiences in a digital environment. The system, based on the “miniverse” concept, allows students to interact with real instruments, such as the Tektronix TDS210 oscilloscope, through a client-server platform. It communicates using the MQTT protocol for reliability and scalability, and uses a GPIB interface supported by an ESP32 card for wireless connectivity. On the software side, the lab uses modern technologies such as Node.js and TypeScript to ensure stability and ease of use. This innovative approach bridges the gap between theory and practice in distance learning, providing an immersive and interactive experience. The system is a scalable solution for improving technical education, expanding its accessibility and quality, and opening new perspectives for science and engineering education.
