This paper describes the remote control and access to a FPGA development board for the verification of designs and practical applications applied in the topics of digital electronics courses for undergraduate Engineering students. The board used is a DE1 from Altera in which it was connected to a microcontroller through its GPIO in order to generate input stimuli or impulses by controlling its buttons and pushbuttons. Through a graphical interface generated and loaded on the screen, you can manipulate these buttons and pushbuttons as if it were done on the board itself. The changes are visualized through a web camera connected to the computer and pointing to the development board. Test results show that designs made using the IDE of QUARTUS II can be successfully verified and tested on the board remotely. Complete compilation and remote-control times are around 8 to 9 seconds.

This paper allows the simulation of an algorithm applied in electronic devices for leakage detection and alerting different drivers engaged in the transport and distribution of LPG liquefied petroleum gas. Likewise, by using software tools of electronic simulation, we can corroborate the virtual operation of the system with positive results. On the other hand, the electronic components used are for commercial use and can be easily purchased in the market. Due to the current situation, the electronic components will be soon implemented in field. The results in the electronic simulation tool show a system average response time of less than 2 seconds.
