Getting physical with mathematics using MATLAB
My passions include mathematics, mathematical software and gadgets. So, I instantly fell in love with the LED Cube. The programming was done in C but MATLAB was used for some of the prototyping.
If you prefer something more physical then how about the MATLAB-controlled 3D function machine?
Perhaps you prefer a more retro, aural kind of a vibe? MATLAB-controlled carol singing dot-matrix printers anyone?
Update: In case it isn’t clear. None of the three projects above are my work, they are other people’s work! I just think they are cool!
Want to have a play?
If you’d like to use MATLAB as a way into physical computing then maybe the following resources will help you. I don’t think that they were used in the projects above but if I were to start playing with such things then I probably begin with one of these.
