I am certain that I'm not the only MATLAB novice who has learned more than a few things from Lord MathWorks. Alas, all good things most come to an end... There is just too much to cover in a video like this so the length was just right. Sure, there is so much more one could learn about the ICT but where do you stop? Good choice for length. If a loyal MathWorks customer needed to connect atypical hardware devices to the ICT, could they ask for assistance here or is the only acceptable protocol MW Tech Support? Assuming I can ask here,... I would like to connect three different hardware devices to a single USB port by using a 4-Port Serial to USB Adapter. (Couldn't find any 3-Port Serial to USBs). Each hardware device outputs to a DB9. Each DB9 is connected to the USB via the adapter. Can the ICT read something like this? I want to read directly from only one USB. I bet Scott could do it.

The convenient 2-3 minute format is what makes it possible for us to watch videos even if we are not sure the topic is of particular interest to us, and to be surprised occasionally. I for example subscribe to the RSS feed and watch the videos whenever they come up, even if I'm in the middle of doing something else. If I had to set aside time for video blog watching I probably wouldn't... Thanks, -naor Doug,

You write "This was my first surprise. I thought that the blog was attracting more new users of MATLAB." I guess the reason for this is simple: New users do not know about your blog! Maybe it would be better - as you also mentioned - to open an own "Matlab Basics Blog" to attract new users. Regards Markus Hi Doug!

I tell you, dumping that Scott guy was the best move you ever made. This blog is way better without him! :) Congrats, Doug. I tell you, dumping that Scott guy was the best move you ever made.
