Something that had bothered me ever since I became an FEA analyst (2012) was the apparent inability of the "camera" in Matlab's 3D plot to function like the "cameras" in CAD/CAE packages.
For instance, load the ForearmLink.stl model that ships with the PDE Toolbox in Matlab and ParaView and try rotating the model.
clear
close all
gm = importGeometry( "ForearmLink.stl" );
pdegplot(gm)
Things to observe:
- Note that I cant seem to rotate continuously around the x-axis. It appears to only support rotations from [0, 360] as opposed to [-inf, inf]. So, for example, if I'm looking in the Y+ direction and rotate around X so that I'm looking at the Z- direction, and then want to look in the Y- direction, I can't simply keep rotating around the X axis... instead have to rotate 180 degrees around the Z axis and then around the X axis. I'm not aware of any data visualization applications (e.g., ParaView, VisIt, EnSight) or CAD/CAE tools with such an interaction.
- Note that at the 50 second mark, I set a view in ParaView: looking in the [X-, Y-, Z-] direction with Y+ up. Try as I might in Matlab, I'm unable to achieve that same view perspective.
Today I discovered that if one turns on the Camera Toolbar from the View menubar, then clicks the Orbit Camera icon, then the No Principal Axis icon:
That then it acts in the manner I've long desired. Oh, and also, for the interested, it is programmatically available: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/cameratoolbar.html
I might humbly propose this mode either be made more discoverable, similar to the little interaction widgets that pop up in figures:

Or maybe use the middle-mouse button to temporarily use this mode (a mouse setting in, e.g., Abaqus/CAE).
Hi everyone,
I need deep orientation to make calculation of speed and Angle for the absolute encoder RM22SC with signal (data+, Data-, Clock +, Clock -) using Launchpad F28379D and Simulink.
I did interface the absolute encoder with IC DS26LS32CN and I did get signal Data and Clock. I did use the GPIO20 for Data and GPIO21 for Clock and connect both to the Matlab Function block to get as output the position. See the code on attached. The output of the Matlab function times 2*pi/8192 to get the angle. However, I don't get anything as value.
Matlab Fuction Block code
function position = decodeSSI(data, clock)
%#codegen
persistent bitCounter shiftRegister prevClock
if isempty(bitCounter)
bitCounter = uint32(0);
shiftRegister = uint32(0);
prevClock = uint32(0);
end
% Parameters
numBits = 13; % Number of bits in the SSI word
% Rising edge detection for clock
clock = uint32(clock); % Ensure clock is of type integer
clockRisingEdge = (clock == 1) && (prevClock == 0);
prevClock = clock;
if clockRisingEdge
bitCounter = bitCounter + 1;
% Shift in the data bit
shiftRegister = bitor(bitshift(shiftRegister, 1), uint32(data));
% Check if we have received the full word
if bitCounter == numBits
position = shiftRegister;
% Reset for the next word
bitCounter = uint32(0);
shiftRegister = uint32(0);
else
position = uint32(0); % or NaN to indicate incomplete data
end
else
position = uint32(0); % or retain the last valid position
end
end
I've noticed is that the highly rated fonts for coding (e.g. Fira Code, Inconsolata, etc.) seem to overlook one issue that is key for coding in Matlab. While these fonts make 0 and O, as well as the 1 and l easily distinguishable, the brackets are not. Quite often the curly bracket looks similar to the curved bracket, which can lead to mistakes when coding or reviewing code.
So I was thinking: Could Mathworks put together a team to review good programming fonts, and come up with their own custom font designed specifically and optimized for Matlab syntax?
Problem statement: I've written a visualization that I'd like to use on potentially hundreds of different channels in my commerical account. Because it contains code that's unique to the channel (channel id, read API key, etc.) I have to create and maintain a duplicate visualization for each channel. This is wasteful, a source of errors, and almost intractable for a commercial customer with a high channel count.
My request is that MATLAB Visualizations be extended to support parameters, but only a predefined set to reduce the scope. I would propose a subset of the parameters currently supported by the ThingSpeak API. For example, thingSpeakRead supports (requires) readChannelID, NumPoints, and a ReadKey etc. If those were elevated to also be allowed as Visualization parameters, I imagine it would satisfy a large subset of user needs.
The poor man's version of this would be if ThingSpeak supported just one special parameter, such as %CHANNEL_ID%. If this was available within the visualization code one could use it as a key into table to get the other pieces of data like API keys, etc. It would be have to be passed on the visualization url (https://thingspeak.com/apps/matlab_visualizations/573779?readChannelID=xxxxx). Not sure how the visualization would pick it up in the use case where it's called from the ThingSpeak website under the user's list of MATLAB Visualizations. Perhaps it can be prompted for.
I initially considered user defined functions or libraries but they are not supported and I can see that that would require even more development work to support. The workarounds described in this thread aren't suitable for me. https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/2102981-how-to-use-private-functions-lib-in-thingspeak?s_tid=srchtitle_community_thingspeak_14_libraries

Hello everyone, i hope you all are in good health. i need to ask you about the help about where i should start to get indulge in matlab. I am an electrical engineer but having experience of construction field. I am new here. Please do help me. I shall be waiting forward to hear from you. I shall be grateful to you. Need recommendations and suggestions from experienced members. Thank you.
I recently wrote up a document which addresses the solution of ordinary and partial differential equations in Matlab (with some Python examples thrown in for those who are interested). For ODEs, both initial and boundary value problems are addressed. For PDEs, it addresses parabolic and elliptic equations. The emphasis is on finite difference approaches and built-in functions are discussed when available. Theory is kept to a minimum. I also provide a discussion of strategies for checking the results, because I think many students are too quick to trust their solutions. For anyone interested, the document can be found at https://blanchard.neep.wisc.edu/SolvingDifferentialEquationsWithMatlab.pdf
hello i'm working on simulation using simulink which is my title is ENHANCING BATTERYENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMSTHROUGH MODULAR MULTILEVEL CONVERTER WITH STATE-OF-CHARGE BALANCING CONTROL. i already build 9 level mmc. but i dont have any idea for state of charge balancing control.please any suggestion and explain.
how can I link a chinese flow meter to this website
Kindly link me to the Channel Modeling Group.
I read and compreheneded a paper on channel modeling "An Adaptive Geometry-Based Stochastic Model for Non-Isotropic MIMO Mobile-to-Mobile Channels" except the graphical results obtained from the MATLAB codes. I have tried to replicate the same graphs but to no avail from my codes. And I am really interested in the topic, i have even written to the authors of the paper but as usual, there is no reply from them. Kindly assist if possible.
Hi, I'm looking for sites where I can find coding & algorithms problems and their solutions. I'm doing this workshop in college and I'll need some problems to go over with the students and explain how Matlab works by solving the problems with them and then reviewing and going over different solution options. Does anyone know a website like that? I've tried looking in the Matlab Cody By Mathworks, but didn't exactly find what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.
Die Anzeige der Werte in den einzelnen Feldern ist nicht aktuell.
So werden z.B. um 18:00 Uhr nur die Werte bis 14:00 Uhr angezeigt, auch das verändern des Zeitfensters bringt keine Abhilfe.
Hat jemand eine Idee wie ich die der Uhrzeit ensprechenden Werte zur Anzeige bringe.
Die Werte werden von Shellies und BitShake kontinuierlich übertragen.
My thingSpeak channel kept on updateing the same signal as early eventhough my simulink have update the new signal. How to solve this?
Any one have deep learning reinforcement based speed control of induction motor?
Hi ThingSpeak Community,
I hope you are all doing well.
I am currently setting up a Vodafone ACL for a SIM card that will be used in a device destined for a remote charity deployment in a week. The goal is to ensure that the device can reliably upload data to ThingSpeak without any connectivity issues.
Here are the details of my current ACL setup:
- FQDN: api.thingspeak.com (specified as the API endpoint)
- IPv4 Address: 184.106.153.149 (found online)
- Port: (left empty)
I've attached a photo of the setup for reference.
Could you please confirm if the above ACL settings are correct? Additionally, if there are any other considerations or settings I should be aware of for ensuring reliable connectivity with ThingSpeak, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.
Currently, all I am using for the device credentials is the PIN number. Do I need to adjust any settings in the Arduino code or the ACL to maintain stable connectivity with ThingSpeak, especially considering the device will be in a remote location and difficult to access for adjustments?
Your prompt assistance and advice will be immensely valuable, as I want to ensure everything is correctly configured before deployment.
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Arthur
