Abstract: A laboratory stand is considered for the study of digital electronics, microcontroller programming, and programmable logic integrated circuits, with its distinctive feature being the choice of optical connections between elements in place of electrical ones. The purpose of the stand is to enhance the demonstrative aspect of the process for students, and to reduce the likelihood of equipment failure due to students’ actions. The principles on which the stand is based, engineering solutions suitable for its creation, and possible methodologies for working with the stand for both teachers and students discussed. The results of testing the stand during student laboratory work are also examined.

Keywords: laboratory stand, digital electronics, optical connections, education
