MathWorks: MATLAB and Simulink with Raspberry Pi - A Hands-On Workshop on Hardware Support

James Cain, Manager - Experimental Learning Environments, OEIT

Jan/29 Wed 01:00PM-04:00PM 35-225

Enrollment: Register at link below
Limited to 20 participants

Addressing the growing need in curriculum and research for low-cost, easy-to-use hardware and software environments, this session describes the built-in support in MATLAB and Simulink for prototyping, testing, and running Simulink models on Raspberry Pi.

Simulink includes the capability to program Arduino, Raspberry Pi, LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT, and other low-cost hardware platforms. This hands-on workshop introduces the hardware support capabilities in Simulink. Participants develop, simulate, and test custom algorithms and implement the code on an embedded system from within the Simulink environment. Lab modules include examples of video and image processing algorithms, from very simple video in/out handling to more sophisticated processing such as object recognition and edge detection. The workshop provides practical hands-on experience and gives attendees an understanding of the potential for use in the classroom, research, and student projects.

Participants will:

-Design, simulate, and test custom algorithms in Simulink

-Implement these algorithms on embedded hardware

-Discover the ease of using Simulink to program

Note:

Necessary software and Raspberry Pi Kits will be made available to attendees for the duration of the workshop.We have a limited class size for this workshop. Register now and we will contact you to confirm your seat.Faculty, staff and graduate students will be given preference as attendees.
