Typographical Errors / Clarifications

• Due to timing issues, you will only actually be able to get through Assignment 2. Assignment 3 is in the handout and pictures of its solution are on Pundit.

• For the initialization of MATLAB, when the first window comes up about platforms, click the "Do Not Ask Again" option and then click the RTI1104 button. If a window comes up about incompatible settings, select the do not ask again option, then Set Automatically. This should take care of the settings in the Simulink configuration for working with the dSPACE cards -- but you should still check the configuration as given on page Lab 3-11.
