The other day, I was teaching a lab for recently hired at MathWorks. In that lab, I ask attendees to program LEGO MINDSTORMS robots using Simulink. One of the things I see in this lab is that people often struggle asking questions like:... read more >>

Working in technical support, I receive a lot of models. Sometimes I am impressed by very clever implementations, but sometimes the only thing coming to my mind is "Why is he doing that?". Here are a few examples I want to share with you.... read more >>

In Simulink R2011a, it is possible to pass asynchronous function-call signals through Inports of a model. This enables the asynchronous function call to cross the boundary of Model block. Such function-call signals are typically used in Simulink models to capture interrupt-driven processing that is asynchronous with the time-driven processing in... read more >>
