Title of script: Using SBHS virtual laboratory

Author: Rupak Rokade

Keywords: SBHS, Virtual labs, tutorial


Narration
Show Slide Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Using Single Board heater System Virtual labs on Windows OS
Show Slide In this spoken tutorial we will learn about:


  1. Software installations required on the remote users computer
  2. Using SBHS website
  3. Performing a Step test experiment remotely


Show Slide

Pre-requisite

As a pre-requisite, watch the following tutorials

1. Introduction to SBHS and

2. Introduction to Xcos.


These are available on the spoken tutorial website.


I am recording this tutorial on a Windows-7 32-bit Operating System

Show Slide

Pre-requisite

Ensure that Scilab is installed on your computer.


Scilab can be downloaded from

sbhs.os-hardware.in/downloads OR

www.scilab.org


Please note that you will need internet connectivity to install Scilab.

Show slide All I added SBHS here. Is this correct?SBHS experiment Scilab codes are written using Scilab 5.3.3 and is the recommended version


A higher version of Scilab will work equally well


However, code modified in a higher version of scilab cannot be re-used in lower version


I have already installed Scilab 5.3.3.


Now the next step is to download the experiment Scilab code.

Demo as per narration Open a web browser.

In the address bar, type os hyphen hardware.in

This is the website for opensource hardware

click on SBHS image Click on the project SBHS.
Click on Downloads On the left hand side, click on Downloads
Demo as per narration Click on the download link for SBHS Scilab codes for windows


It will download the Scilab code.

Go to the Desktop and point to the file. Save it on the Desktop.


Here it is.

Right-click on it >> show Extract here. The file downloaded will be in zip format.


Extract the content of this zip file on the Desktop.


To do so, right-click on it and choose Extract here.


The contents inside this folder, will be discussed at a later part of this tutorial.

<<PAUSE>>
Now let us see the SBHS Virtual labs website.
Click on Virtual Labs On the left hand side, click on the link Virtual Labs.
This is the interface from where one can gain access to do remote experiments on SBHS.
Point to Login/Register A first time user needs to register once, by clicking on the Login/Register option.
Show the registration form After this, a form has to be filled and submitted.


An activation link is emailed to the user after the form is submitted successfully.


The link received in the email, should be used to complete the registration process.


Note that the activation process may not be immediate.

It may take a few minutes

Enter username

Enter Password

I will now login with my registered account.

I will enter my username and password.

Point to “Book Slot”, “View/Delete Slot” After a successful login, a user has access to Book Slot, View/Delete Slot etc.


A slot is the time duration in which you can perform an experiment.


In our case, a slot lasts for 55 minutes of every hour

Click on Book Slot option After clicking on the Book Slot option, the client will have two choices.
Point to Current Slot and Future Slot One can either book Current Slot or a Future Slot
Point to Book Now and then to Book future slot Book Now option will appear only if the current slot is vacant


Book future slot option will always be available.


It will allow two non-consecutive slots to be booked, each day.

Click on Book Current Slot I will click on the Book Now option
You will receive an acknowledgement, with your booking details appearing on the top side.


The slot booking part is over.


Let us now run a simple Step Test experiment, downloaded from the website.

Switch to the Desktop >> open the downloaded folder Open the folder you downloaded and saved on the Desktop.
Point to the folders: StepTest and common_files You can see that there is a StepTest folder and common files folder


Do not move any of the folders from their location.


If the directory structure is changed, the experiment will not execute.


If you want one experiment to be copied elsewhere, make sure you copy the common files folder too.


However, make sure the common files folder is always outside the experiment folder.


Open the common files folder.


Open the file config


This file is used to do the proxy settings.



Switch to Slides Do not change the contents of config file if


You are inside IIT Bombay. OR

You are outside IIT Bombay and using an open network.

For example, at home or using a mobile internet

Change the contents of config file if

You are outside IIT Bombay and using a proxy network.

For example, at an institute, office etc.



Switch to config file Put the value of use proxy as Yes with Y capital


Change the other details as per the proxy network which you are on.


Save and close this file

Open StepTest folder Open the StepTest folder.



Open run.vbs Locate and double click on the file run



Point to the various parameters It will open the python based SBHS client application.


Note that the first time execution of this file will take a minute to open the SBHS client.


It will show various parameters of the experiment like


SBHS Connection, Client Version, User login and Experiment status


Green dots mean that the sbhs client can connect to the server


It also shows that the client version I am using is the latest.


User login and Experiment status is red because I have still not logged in and the experiment is not running.

Point to Login >>

type username

type password

click on login

It will also give you an option to login.


Type your username and password.

This username and password is the same you used to book a slot.


Click on login.


Ensure that you login on the booked date and time, with correct login details.


Expect the message Ready to execute scilab code.

Switch to StepTest folder Switch to the StepTest folder which has the experiment files.
Double-click on “stepc.sce” Double-click on the stepc file.


This should open Scilab automatically

It should also open the file in Scilab editor.

Demo If it doesnt, click on the file menu.

Click on Open a file

Choose the file stepc and click on open

Switch to Scilab console >> Type getd ../common_files Switch to the Scilab console.


Type the command getd space dot dot slash common files and press Enter key.



Switch to Scilab editor >> Click on Execute >> click on File with echo Switch to the scilab editor.


Just check the case for the bold textOn the Menu bar, lick on Execute option and then click on File with echo


If the network is working properly, it will open an Xcos diagram.


If it doesnt, it will show error on the Scilab console.

step test Xocs diagram opens up >> Point to Heat and Fan Using the step test Xocs diagram, we can set the experiment parameters such as Heat and Fan.


Double-click on each block to change its parameters

Demo I will set the heat to vary from 30% to 45% after 300 seconds.


I will put the initial value equal to 30, final value equal to 45 and step time equal to 300


Similarly, I will set the fan to be constant at 50% which is the default value

Save and execute Now let us save and execute the xcos diagram.
