Christof, Field Application Engineer at Microchip, explains us how to quickly simulate, compile and implement control algorithms for our designs using Mathworks’ Simulink. This demo application is based in a brushless DC motor with a control board and an additional interface that measures the actual values and sends them back to the Matlab environment.

Isn’t proprietary software such as Simulink your thing? Worry not!
The (free) open source alternative Scilab will ease your way.

Microstick Plus DevBoard (the board that sends the measured values back to Matlab)
