    Useful Tips

    1. For the simulation (not hardware experiment) of continuous time system in Simulink, use "ode4" or "ode5" in your Simulink model instead of "ode1" for more accurate simulation. You can also use fixed step size of 0.001(s) or smaller for simulation. (Simulink model -> Simulation -> Configuration Parameters... -> Solver -> ode4 or ode5, Fixed step size -> 0.001)
