Claim One:
1. An educational mechatronics apparatus comprising: a plurality of circuit boards respectively corresponding to blocks appearing on a block diagram of an automatic control system, said plurality of circuit boards being arranged along the direction of signal transfer, each of said circuit boards being provided with actual circuit components including input and output terminals and having a center area and opposite end portions, each said circuit board including printed wires formed on the back surface thereof; a base board for mounting said circuit boards thereon; a post attached to said base board for supporting said circuit board, whereby said circuit board is separated away from said base board to visually distinguish said circuit boards from each other; and a transparent protective plate covering said center area of said circuit board to inhibit a learner to touch the circuits components other than the input and output terminals located in said end portions of said circuit board; wherein the input and output terminals located in said center area of said circuit board being wired in advance of assembly of the apparatus, and the input and output terminals located in said end portions being adapted to be wired for learning by lead; and wherein the apparatus is divided into a driving unit, a feedback control unit and a kinetic unit, said driving unit and said feedback control unit comprising respective base boards and said circuit boards mounted on said base boards along the direction of signal transfer.
