Instructions for Installing Matlab, Simulink, and C Compiler
Matlab and Simulink
Matlab and Simulink will be used in the homework assignments of this
course. You can install this software to your own computer (Windows,
Mac, or Linux) using a Matlab TAH campus license. Installation on a
laptop is preferred (if you have one), since you can then bring your own
laptop to the instruction sessions.You can find the activation key and installation instructions from the Aalto Download page (download.aalto.fi). You can download Matlab and Simulink directly from the MathWorks site (mathworks.com).
From there, you can find the most recent version and you can choose the
toolboxes to be downloaded (just Matlab, Simulink, and Control System
Toolbox suffice). For downloading and installing the software from the
MathWorks pages, you have to create a MathWorks account, where you
should use your Aalto email address. At the end of installation, you
will need the activation key, which you can find from the Aalto Download
page.
C compiler
The MATLAB Functions are used in the Simulink models of the homework
assignments. For more information, see:
http://se.mathworks.com/help/simulink/slref/matlabfunction.html
These function make it easy to implement, e.g.,
discrete-time control algorithms for simulation models or even for embedded
processors.
In order to be able to use these functions, a C compiler should
be installed on your system (we do not write the C code in the
course, but
Matlab needs the compiler). In most cases, the compiler works directly
without further actions. In some combinations of Matlab versions and
operating systems, the compiler has to be installed separately. Free
compilers are available, see instructions here:

If you cannot install the compiler to your own computer, you can use Matlab in the computer classrooms on the campus.
