Available Benches

Raspberry Pi IoT & Automation Bench

A Raspberry Pi 4B-based remote bench for Python, Linux, GPIO, sensors, relays, and servo motor control. Includes real GPIO-connected peripherals, sample programs, SSH/browser access, remote desktop, and live camera monitoring.

ESP32 IoT & Protocol Bench

An ESP32-based remote bench for IoT firmware, MQTT, RS485 Modbus, and CAN communication, plus OLED display projects and Arduino-compatible development. Includes embedded debugging with a logic analyzer, live camera view, and remote reset support.

Arduino-Compatible Microcontroller Bench

Built for students and beginners learning digital I/O, sensors, display output, and serial communication using real hardware instead of only simulation.

STM32 Embedded Test Bench

Advanced embedded benches for firmware validation, UART, I2C, SPI, PWM, CAN, and RS485/Modbus, with hardware-in-the-loop style test workflows for colleges, companies, and embedded engineers.

How GroLabs Booking Works

1. Select a bench and book a session. Choose from Raspberry Pi, ESP32, Arduino-compatible, or STM32 benches, and either start an available session immediately or book a time slot.
2. GroLabs prepares your environment automatically. A temporary user account and private workspace are created, sample programs are copied in, and your selected hardware modules are made ready.
3. Connect and work. Access your bench through SSH, browser terminal, or remote desktop. Run code, control physical hardware, reset supported devices, and observe real output through live camera streams.
4. Session ends cleanly. Access is revoked, your workspace can be archived, and the hardware resets to a safe state for the next user.

Who Can Use GroLabs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to own the hardware to use GroLabs?

No. GroLabs gives you remote access to real physical hardware benches — Raspberry Pi, ESP32, Arduino-compatible, and STM32 — so you can run real experiments without buying or wiring anything yourself.

How do I access a GroLabs bench?

Through SSH, a browser-based terminal, or remote desktop, depending on the bench and your session setup, with a live camera view to observe physical hardware output in real time.

Can I reset the hardware if something goes wrong during a session?

Yes, for supported benches like the ESP32 Protocol Bench, remote reset lets you recover and restart your experiment without ending the session.

Is GroLabs suitable for college coursework?

Yes. Colleges and training institutes can use GroLabs for embedded systems, IoT, and communication protocol coursework, with subscription and bulk-access plans available.

What protocols and hardware does GroLabs support?

GPIO, sensors, relays, and servo motors on Raspberry Pi; MQTT, RS485 Modbus, and CAN on ESP32; digital I/O and serial communication on Arduino-compatible boards; and UART, I2C, SPI, PWM, CAN, and RS485/Modbus on STM32.
