This Autotronics board is designed to provide a practical approach to theoretical learning, as well as developing technical skills for electronic system fault finding.
The resource is contained within an ergonomic plastic base with a hinged cover that also provides a mechanism to tilt the trainer towards the user for ease of use.
Students are set tasks that encourage them to explore CAN controlled lighting circuits practically and improve their knowledge of electrical components, circuits, signals and systems.
The trainer is supplied with a curriculum CD containing theory and practical tasks, as well as tutor support materials.
The trainer can also be used in conjunction with Optional
Cloud-based Software , which offers online practical tasks as well as interactive theory presentations, investigations, and assessments, which link directly to the practical activities carried out using this resource
