Re: [python-control-discuss] status update

[Ryan K. <rk...@si...>]

FYI, I saw some mention of lsim2 in a recent email.  My code includes
a step response function that first tries lsim then uses lsim2 if
there is an exception.  The exceptions usually are caused by pure
integrators.  I think that defaulting to lsim2 will make the
simulation slower.

I have fixed a few bugs in my code.  There may even be a bug fix in
the digital conversion code that hasn't made it into my main branch.
The most recent versions of my code are on github and on my course
website for this semester:
