Abstract
SynLab project introduces a modular, IOT based electronic laboratory platform that
merges several important digital and analog instruments into a single connected ecosystem. The
system incorporates modules like a PIC programmer, IC tester, oscilloscope, waveform generator
and many others, each is equipped with an ESP32 microcontroller for wireless connectivity and
synchronization via a centralized software interface.
This project is significantly important because traditional electronics laboratories rely on
bulky, expensive and standalone equipment, which restricts interconnectivity, accessibility and
clearness, SynLab handles these challenges by implementing a networked and scalable smart lab
which enables students and educators to execute experiments more efficiently and effectively. It
bridges the gap between modern IOT technologies and physical hardware tools which makes
laboratory experience more engaging and remotely accessible.
Main objectives of SynLab include designing and implementing an integrated digital
laboratory system with several smart instruments, developing an IOT based communication
framework that connects all modules in the system, building a software platform to allow users
control, visualize and record data from all modules at real time, and providing a powerful
extendable lab solution for developers and engineering students.
The project will be developed through an iterative modular approach where each device
and module will contain a small microcontroller with an independent ESP32-based node
connected which will communicate with each other via a central hub containing a main
microcontroller to coordinate operations and data flow. For the software side, a Flutter based
web interface, and mobile application will connect with the central hub module to manage
devices and enable users to implement different operations on each module.
Although similar ideas exist - such as USB-based IC testers or PIC programmers - but
few systems provide a complete integrated and functional laboratory environment with IOT
modular connectivity. SynLab combines multiple devices and laboratory instruments to provide a
flexible, effective and efficient educational environment.
