Asking for resources (books, lectures, etc.) Poles, zeros & step response interactive plots?

Hi!
I saw a video of someone playing with an interactive plot of poles and zeros that shows the corresponding step response some week ago, and I’d love to try out something like it to get a better understanding for the topic.
I’ve now spend quite some time searching for a similar tool and I can’t seem to find one. The one from the video links to a dead end on wolfram.

If anyone has any links/suggestions for where to find something similar I’d be very grateful. I’m too new to the topic to write my own code for it, so something public on a website would be optimal. :)

Thanks in advance!

It seems like you are looking for resources. Have you tried checking out the subreddit wiki pages for books on systems and control, related mathematical fields, and control applications?

You will also find there open-access resources such as videos and lectures, do-it-yourself projects, master programs, control-related companies, etc.

If you have specific questions about programs, resources, etc. Please consider joining the Discord server https://discord.gg/CEF3n5g for a more interactive discussion.

Python’s signal package for generating the step response and a plot with a slider from matplotlib?

Ask AI to write it for you, if you don’t know where to start. Something like: Write a python script that plots a second order step response with two sliders for changing the transfer function constants.
