iiDAQ: An Affordable Data Acquisition System as a Tool for Teaching-Learning Process in Instrumentation and Control

https://doi.org/10.58571/CNCA.AMCA.2022.078

Resumen: Teaching-learning process in undergraduate courses requires alternative methods to succeed, even more in a blended mode. Particularly, for instrumentation and control courses, practical activities are mandatory to strengthen the theoretical content. However, accessing to laboratory workbench and devices is not straightforward due to several constraints. In this work, we introduce the so-called iiDAQ, a low-cost and affordable solution as a data acquisition (DAQ) device devoted to didactic practices. The system is based on open hardware devices to acquire and generate signals from sensors and actuators. Moreover, we develop a full Matlab compliant toolbox with a graphical user interface (GUI) interaction and a low-level method scripting capabilities. We show the iiDAQ design and details on its functionality. The performance is shown in three didactic case studies. Results show that the proposal is an attractive tool to leverage teaching-learning processes for undergraduate instrumentation and control courses.
