Abstract: In today’s world, e-learning has proved to be a very useful technology. In addition to e-learning, e-labs are also being implemented. E-labs can be either virtual or remote. This paper is an initiative to create a remote fpga lab. The implementation of the same is also complete. The base kit used is the spartan 3E family of FPGA which is interfaced with an arduino board through a LabView interface for providing the input into the FPGA from the remote desktop. The outputs are displayed in the remote computer. The outputs can also be viewed through the webcam. The main intention of this project is to make distance learning easy. It is also an advantage for students as additional experiments that do not come under the syllabus can be performed anytime, anywhere.

Keywords: Spartan3E, Arduino, Labview etc
