Industry 4.0 remote lab based on pic microcontrollers

This technical note introduces an analysis of the current remote labs for PIC microcontrollers. Based on the analysis results, the paper describes a remote lab developed by the authors to perform remote PIC programming IoT-oriented practices. This remote lab has been implemented with the Microchip PIC-IoT board. The remote lab based on this Internet of Things device is suitable for its use in educational institutions as a first step to get the students familiar with the kit without the need of having to acquire it. Also, it allows connecting more complex peripherals not easily usable by students at home. This the first remote lab for PIC microcontroller programming.
