An Introduction to Scilab 5.5.2 and Xcos by Antonelli and Chiaverini (in italian).The example code is attached to this TWiki page I was attracted be the title because I did not consider myself an expert on mathematical simulation programs and I went through the tutorial from page 1 to the last page and I tried all of the examples.

The manual is written in form of slides and there are 504 such slides.

Even if the title of this tutorial is ' Scilab for real dummies ' I don't think it 'real dummies' will manage to work with it.

Another site with a lot of tutorials you find at.

This is the error I get even though jogl2 is installed on my system.

I also downloaded the scilab sources from github but did not manage to compile.

When trying some tutorials I saw problems with this newest version and I therefore installed the former stable version: scilab-5.5.2.

Even though apt packages exist for Scilab on Ubuntu-18.04, these packages are broken and you better install it from the. From here you can download and install the newest version: scilab-6.0.1. In order to get some feeling on how Scilab works I first collected as much information as possible on the system and then tried to install it on my Ubuntu 18.04 system. For this reason I try to document my approach to the problem in these pages. This requires the programming of the required Xcos blocks and a server program communicating with these blocks through either a socket interface in the case of the Raspberry Pi or through serial communication in case of the Arduino.Īs with many open source projects the weakest point of Scilab is its documentation.

The goal of these pages is to create an Xcos interface to the Raspberry Pi and to the Arduino in such a way that access to sensor readout or actuator control is given through drag and drop. Scilab exists for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X and is used by many universities around the world.Scilab's equivalent to Matlab's Simulink is called Xcos allowing to create simulations through a drag and drop interface. Scilab is a system for open source program for numerical mathematics quite similar to Matlab even though the Scilab programming language is not compatible to the Matlab language.
