Highlights

 2020 Project Highlights As the school year started my advanced engineering teacher had the crazy idea of participating on the shell eco marathon, which is basically a competition where you and you're team are supposed to build a car that consumes the least amount of fuel possible. I got in-charge of the electronics, which was basically the horn, the kill switch and the ignition system, I will not be talking about all of this in this post only the highlights. One of my first assignment of the year was to work on the horn's circuit, so here's a photo of what I came up with. I used the appropriate electrical signs, and I learned a lot from this project. This is the final result for the diagram, which includes the battery, the horn, the button, the relay, the fuse, and the wires of course. After finishing the diagram for the horn, I started learning about fuses, so I began to watch a bunch of youtube videos that talked about selecting the correct fuse size. I even used the for

What is Matlab and what is it used for?

I am about to embark on a journey of knowledge and learning, to elaborate I will learn the basics of Matlab or at least as mush as I can squeeze in, in a month, I will also discover what is it used for, and I will document my process and acquired knowledge throughout this blog. First things first, what is Matlab? Matlab is a multi-paradigm programming language that allows for matrix manipulation, plotting of functions, implementation of algorithms, creation of interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages. Basically you can do in Matlab what you can do in any other programming language the difference is that Matlab is more number based, and makes more emphasize on Math itself. Now that I know what Matlab is and what is it used for I can now create my own account so I have access to Matlab and I can I use it freely. At least for a month. I can't show you the creating an account process but I will show you how Matlab's interface looks like. Now for the fun
