Tip of the Week - Monitor and Manage Raspberry Pi Resources Interactively
MATLAB, Simulink, and their support for a variety of low-cost hardware has allowed many students to continue benefit from project-based learning, even from their own homes. Popular choices include the Arduino Engineering Kit and Raspberry Pi.
If you use or are considering using Raspberry Pi for your class, your students could benefit from using the Raspberry Pi Resource Monitor App. This app, introduced in MATLAB R2020b, will allow them to graphically configure target boards, deploy Simulink models and MATLAB functions, manage peripheral devices and interfaces, and perform common troubleshooting steps. Such an approach can simplify many of the technical challenges faced by educators who adopt a ‘Hardware at Home’ approach for their lab-based classes.
