Conventional microcontroller experiments typically utilize products from educational instrument companies, where students complete tasks by wiring and programming. This approach often limits their deep understanding of the experiments and restricts practice to the laboratory. To address this, a microcontroller pocket experiment board has been developed, which requires students to solder the circuit board themselves based on a provided circuit diagram. This hands-on experience helps students thoroughly understand hardware circuit principles and acquire component soldering skills. Introducing Modbus communication, a widely used industrial automation protocol, into microcontroller experiments allows students to grasp the principles of Modbus communication, understand protocol specifications, and comprehend the communication process. This practical experience is invaluable for enhancing their competitiveness and provides a strong foundation for future careers in industrial automation, the Internet of Things, and related fields.
