SISOTOOL Installation about octave-control HOT 12 OPEN

Hi all, I have been busy with school work and I haven't the chance to look at this in detail.

I tested under Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 for Octave 4.2.2. I have updated my Octave version and I faced the same problem as you guys. I am downgrading Octave to 4.2.2 to make sure it still ok.

I understand. Please don't take my chattiness here as impatience. I just wanted to document my attempt at getting it running and what worked / didn't so it's not lost work. I've made the decision to fork over the cash to Mathworks to get the thing going I'm working on.

What you got going here is a great start, I expect. Having it around will, eventually, reduce a hurdle to teaching / learning how to build control systems on a shoestring!

Swagata - i got the same results. Once complete, i no longer had access to the control folder. It appears to be deleted. I get the feeling that this tool was never completed...

Hello @Swagata12345,

Thank you for pointing out this error. I am setting a new environment to try this installation from scratch, and I will get back to you.

@bnourrcier, you are right, this project was conducted under Google Summer of Code, and I guess it was never updated to the main branch of the control package. I will reach out to the mentors for the project as well.

Best,
Eri

Hi Eri,
I'm trying to install this also. Could you or someone confirm that Octave 4.2.2 is a version that the install will complete for while the Octave 4.4.0 does not correctly complete the install?

Also: is this know to work under Windows 10 or was it just tested against Octave on Linux?

Some more observations:

1. Needs 4.2.2 to load up ok.
2. Under windows G = tf([1], [1 1]); sisotool(G) doesn't make any reasonable step response graph show up. (It's blank.)
3. For operation under Ubuntu, you'll need 18.04 LTS version in order to easily get Octave 4.2.2.
4. Under Ubuntu G = tf([1], [1 1]); sisotool(G) makes a reasonable step response show up. "Architecture" is missing all of the pictures shown on the main page for Eri's work.

Using Windows 10 Pro, Version 2004, OS build 19041.685 I installed Octave 4.2.2 because installing SISOControl under Octave 6.1.0 failed. Under Octave 4.2.2 I got these messages:

For information about changes from previous versions of the control package, run 'news contro

I don't yet have experience with SISOControl, but I wanted to provide this information before it vanishes from my system. This might be helpful to someone. In the meantime I'll try to see if SISOControl works despite these messages.

Follow up:

I got messages like these, the last pair in a very long series. I don't know how to get around them.
