Development of Portable Electronic Sensor Trainer (PEST) for Teaching and Learning Purpose
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Portable Electronic Sensor Trainer (PEST) is a training kit for teaching and learning. PEST comes with the breadboard, relay, solenoid, LCD, Arduino Nano and other electronic components. The PEST has been created to assist lecturers and students especially during their practical work on the subject of Industrial Electronics. PEST is developed starting with problem statement, idea exploration and then designed using Inventor. Inventor is a software that can be used to produce 2D and 3D views. It can also be drawn in orthographic drawings complete with dimensions. Once the design drawing is completed, Arduino programming begins with 15 different sensors to allow students to learn the functions and connections of each sensor. PEST also comes with a QR code where students can access the lab sheet as well as circuit connections. In addition, PEST also uses HP Reveal as a medium that allows students to understand demonstrations carried out by their lecturers by simply through scanning the sensor images and video of the connecting circuit that will be displayed on their smartphones. This PEST development involves processes of etching, drilling, soldering and component assembly. The results obtained are in terms of circuit connectivity and output of each sensor.
