element14 is hosting a free webinar, “How To Use MATLAB and Simulink With ThingSpeak“, a free webinar hosted by Eric Wetjen of MathWorks. Join the webinar live on November 12, 2015 at 10am EST or watch a recording at a later time.

This webinar will show how you can use MATLAB and Simulink with ThingSpeak, an Internet of Things data collection platform. ThingSpeak can be used to collect, analyze and act on data sent from devices such as Raspberry Pis and Arduinos. To illustrate this, a car counter is implemented overlooking a busy highway using a Raspberry Pi 2 and a webcam.  In this demonstration, Simulink is used to deploy the car-counting algorithm on the Raspberry Pi which is connected to ThingSpeak. The traffic can be analyzed offline with MATLAB or online using ThingSpeak and its built-in MATLAB Analysis and MATLAB Visualizations apps.

Eric Wetjen has been working in Product Marketing at MathWorks for the last 7 years. He focuses on bringing MATLAB analysis capabilities to low cost hardware, Test and Measurement equipment and Internet of Things devices.  Prior to MathWorks, Eric held various positions in Product Management and Application Engineering primarily in the telecom industry.  Eric holds a Ph.D. in Engineering from Brown University.
