I have been making a lot more videos for this blog in the last nine months or so. I want to make sure I am making the right videos, so I have made a five minute survey about the videos and will be… read more >>

In an earlier post, I covered how to collect data from a data acquisition board. This post will do something similar for an oscilloscope. This time instead of using the Data Acquisition Toolbox we… read more >>

Most MATLAB functions are overloaded. That means that there are several ways to call them and that MATLAB will “Do The Right Thing” based on the number and types of inputs. As a simple… read more >>

This three minute video takes a look at the “Switch case” flow control statement and contrasts it with the more familiar “If elseif” flow control statement.
Often times,… read more >>

This is the next in a series of advanced topics in MATLAB. My definition of “Advanced” is somewhat nebulous and arbitrary, so even newer users can give this a watch.
Two and a half… read more >>

This six and a half minute video shows a function being created in MATLAB, then it shows a subfunction being added. Functions are a way of adding to the MATLAB language. This video shows the… read more >>

In the last six months, this blog has taken a sharp turn towards being a video tutorial blog. There are other blogs that have been doing this for a while too. I recently got word about a great… read more >>

I was working with a MATLAB user that had a large number of data points in the form of x,y,z triples. He was mostly interested in the density of these data points over the range of the data. At… read more >>

This six minute video shows you how to use the debugger and other tools to step through complicated code and understand what is really going on. By taking a complicated expression and breaking it… read more >>

First, be sure to check out the new home of LazyWeb. We had three of the challenges closed, but there are three still open. We are sending out MATLAB prize packages to all that solved a challenge,… read more >>
