The portal is available at https://tutorial-portal.aerpaw.ncsu.edu/. With the information provided to you through the AERPAW User Manual, you can traverse the sample experiments entirely by yourself.
This is your hands-on training space to explore, practice, and build confidence before using the production AERPAW portal. This environment allows you to experiment safely and learn at your own pace, helping you become familiar with AERPAW’s tools, workflows, and experiment setup process without the fear of "breaking things".
Below are a few essential things you should know about the tutorial portal:
Temporary environment: Experiments created in this tutorial portal will remain active for 14 days and will be automatically deleted thereafter.
Training only: This portal is designed for self-learning and practice, allowing you to practice before working on production experiments. Experiments created in this portal will not transfer to the AERPAW outdoor testbed or sandbox environments.
Same look and feel: The self-paced tutorial portal has the same look and workflows as the production portal, except all functionalities for submitting experiments for emulation, sandbox, and testbed are inactive.
Next step: Once you’re comfortable, you can move on to the AERPAW production portal to conduct your official experiments.
