Project updates: November 2013

By Aleksei | Published: November 15, 2013

An update for the FOMCON toolbox has been released: version 0.41 beta. With this release we bring you an important bug fix which was causing problems when simulating fractional-order controllers with $\lambda=\mu=1$. This was due to incorrect calls to toproper() function which are now corrected. In addition, several new features have been implemented. The most […]
