Abstract
The retrofitting is the process of modernization of some equipment already considered outdated, intending to increment the lifespan by implementing more recent systems of hardware and software. In this work is described the process of retrofitting of a WP350 educational traction test machine. Electronics circuits and software were developed to allow better measurement and accompany during the tests. It was used a microcontroller AVR Atmel to collect all data provided by the auxiliary circuits and send to a personal computer. The results demonstrate a low error of 2.58 N and 0.026 mm considering an 8 mm stroke.
