Hardware Workshop and Laboratory (HWLab)

What we do

The HWLab provides its facilities to the Embedded Security Lab, the Network Traffic Monitoring Lab, the Intelligent Embedded Systems Laboratory, individual students and staff, as well as colleagues from other research laboratories. Anytime anyone needs any hardware, from oscilloscopes to multimeters, from soldering irons to screwdrivers, from teaching aids to discrete devices, they come to us. We also closely collaborate with CESNET.
 
In the HWLab, we predominantly focus on design and prototyping of embedded systems. Our outstanding stock of components and available equipment enables us to create complete embedded system prototypes. We are able to etch a printed circuit board (PCB), fit it, program it and test it.
 
Another part of our work is looking after educational hardware used in courses: “Computer Structures and Architectures” (BIE-SAP), “Practical Digital Design” (BIE-PNO), “Embedded Systems” (BIE-VES) and “Real-Time Systems” (BIE-SRC). 

Equipment

The HWLab is well equipped with instruments, tools, equipment, components, etc. You will find a list of oscilloscopes, logical analyzers, signals generators and components with FPGA circuits and microcontrollers on our website. But the list goes on and includes multimeters, power supply units, soldering irons, tools and more.
 
If you feel like tinkering, come and create a printed circuit board in our lab (we have etching kits and LED lamps), or have the printed circuit board made by a professional supplier (we can advise you on that). You can then fit the PCB with a wide range of components. You can choose from a broad spectrum of micro soldering irons, hot air soldering irons or even a soldering furnace. We also have drills, saws and hammers which can be used to make boxes for the produced prototypes. Last but not least, we also have a vacuum cleaner and brooms that you can use to tidy up after yourself.
