Introduction
These tutorials use a project-based learning approach and real-life examples. All projects are connected to one another, so please do them in the order presented. These will teach you about:
1.Basic Model-Based Design (MBD) workflow
2.How to deploy MATLAB to low-cost powerful embedded hardware (ESP32)
3.Integrate Internet of Things (IoT) with MBD
Before starting, it is recommended to go through these resources.
The following software will also be required:
1.Matlab (Release R2020a or later), which must include:
a.Simulink
b.Matlab coder
c.Simulink coder
d.Embedded coder
e.Stateflow
2.Waijung 2 for ESP32 (How to get Waijung 2, Waijung 2 installation & activation)
