Abstract
This paper presents the results of the adaptation of E2LP project to the needs of a remote learning laboratory focused on a PIK-2 form measuring machine (FMM). The E2LP (Embedded Engineering Learning Platform) was an FP7 finalized project which focused on Embedded Systems Education at University level. This work covers the integration between the hardware measurement technologies and high-level programming for access and administration of the FMM Remote Lab. The innovative approach incorporates the use of LabVIEW services as a bridge between the physical signals from FMM and an accessible user interface. The use of Moodle open-source learning platform opens the way for translation of the low-level web services into the easily administrated and accessible form. It is possible due to the development of custom software blocks and modules that may be easily adapted to communicate with existing web services. The result of the FMM Remote Lab is an e-learning portal which provides remote real-time control of the measurement processes. Moreover, this project demonstrates the possibility of modernisation of obsolete systems and adaptation to up-to-date standards without the need of interfering in their base structure.
