Redundant avionics computers are essential for aircraft safety, but practical education on their behavior is limited. We introduce Quaduino, an educational tool developed at the Institute of Aircraft Systems of the University of Stuttgart. Quaduino comprises four Arduino ATmega2560 microcontrollers, forming a redundant computer, and additional instrumentation for in-depth assessment. Our software ensures separation of platform management and control function, leveraging Arduinos ecosystem. A web interface enables real-time data observation, enhancing students understanding of redundant systems. Quaduino demonstrates challenges such as asynchrony, faults, and communication. This tool empowers students to grasp redundant avionics principles and was successfully introduced into a laboratory course.
