Introductory microprocessor design courses can benefit from the usage of laboratory assignments, leading, normally, to high rates of laboratory?s space and time occupation. In this paper, a remote laboratory is proposed in order to alleviate laboratory?s physical occupation. An 8031 microcontroller based set-up was used to support a set of experiments. Local and remote accesses to the experiments are possible, supported by the LabView environment, and complemented by a specific virtual workbench adaptor to emulate user?s presence.
