Abstract

:In this document we describe the development of a remote lab and two user interfaces for teaching programming and fundamentals of robotics using Arduino boards. One of the interfaces uses visual language to make the experience more attractive for those who are beginning their studies. The second interface provides an environment similar to the original Arduino's one for those users who have some background to use textual programming language. In addition, we present an usability evaluation of the application using visual programming language to obtain a broad feedback mainly in terms of target audience's acceptance and suggestions for improvements. The environment is still an ongoing work, but it is suitable for courses and workshops, especially for institutions with limited resources.
