End-of-Life Information

The end of life of MicroLabBox is planned for April 30, 2028. As of this date, no services of any kind will be available for this product. We advise against using MicroLabBox in new projects. New releases of dSPACE software are guaranteed to continue supporting MicroLabBox until at least April 30, 2027. Release 2026-B will be the last dSPACE Release that supports this product.

Successor

For new projects, we recommend using the MicroLabBox II.

MicroLabBox II, which is the latest development of dSPACE's compact laboratory systems, provides much more processing power and a larger FPGA than its predecessor. It has the same comprehensive set of analog and digital I/O and comes with the latest bus & network interfaces, while keeping the same small footprint. Interfaces of Simulink models or FMUs are easily configured through a vast range of I/O functions in ConfigurationDesk. In addition,  comprehensive software support is available for dSPACE tools like ControlDesk, AutomationDesk, ASM, and the dSPACE solutions for e-drives development, so the MicroLabox II can be customized to perfectly match your requirements on controls development or on-the-desk HIL -testing use cases. To support universities in education as well as research and development, dSPACE also offers an Advanced Control Education Kit for the MicroLabBox II.

Migration Information

For hassle-free migration, connectors and pin assignments of the MicroLabBox II variants are almost identical to those of their predecessors and hence allow wire harnesses to be reused for most applications. Furthermore, migration scripts for MATLAB/Simulink are available to support an easy migration to ConfigurationDesk.
