Another amazing pendulum made of two pendulum coupled by a spring. The equations of motion can easily be obtained from the total Energy, which is the sum of each pendulum energy plus the potential energy of the spring. For small angles the motion is almost the superposition of two sinusoïdal signal for a+b and a-b

Now #scilab accept anonymous functions definition with a syntax close to #matlab #gnuoctave , this make translation between this langages easier. For example :

f=@(t) exp(-t.^2); %% octave syntax
f=#(t) -> (exp(-t.^2)); // scilab syntax

In der letzten englischen Übung im Modul #ElectricalEngineering ging es um die Leistungsberechnung in resistiven Stromkreisen. Dazu haben wir uns die Spannungsteilerregel, die Zahlenrechnung in #GNUOctave, die Simulation in #LTspice und die Analyse in der #Lcapy Bibliothek in #Python angeschaut:

WebSDRs are very nice tools in #AmateurRadio :
Especially for experiments in digital modes it is quite hard to find a partner to experiment.
A SDR on 2m just enabled me to run my very first test using 16-DAPSK modulation to transmit a 1600bit/s speech signal on less than 600Hz bandwidth.
Everything worked like simulated in #gnuoctave . It looks like a good basis for further experimentation.
