Thanks for that update. I hadn't looked on the Mathworks website in
quite some time. I looked again after seeing your post, and I see that
a "home bundle" is once again available. This is what I have from 1999.
I have also used Octave, although not as much as I have used MatLab and
Simulink.

I wish the MathWorks would resume that practice. Back in the late 90s
they would sell one licenses for MatLab and SimuLink for an affordable
price if one singed an agreement that restricted one to personal
(specifically, non-commercial) use. My copy from back then is so old
that it won't run on Windows 7.
Mathworks still does a variety of low cost licenses, including a $149
for Matlab "home" license + $45 for add on products. (not for
academic, commercial, govt, or organizational use)
They also have a $49/$99 student license "in conjunction with
coursework at a degree granting institution". I suppose that you
could sign up for a class at the local community college.(that's gone
up a lot with a bunch of added fees around here)
The new matlab has drivers/simulink blocks to handle a lot of hobby
type hardware platforms (RPi, Arduino, LEGO Mindstorms NXT)
One can also use Octave, which is very, very similar to Matlab (I go
back and forth between the two all the time). Octave doesn't
necessarily have all the nice toolboxes that Matlab has. And, the
plotting is done differently (which is a significant issue, since a
lot of what I use matlab and octave for is generating nice looking
plots).
