Sandhi is a visual programming software particularly for control systems. Sandhi is forked from GNU Radio project which uses GRAS (GNU Radio Advanced Scheduler) https://github.com/guruofquality/gras/wiki
Sandhi is conglomeration of lot of libraries and softwares. It uses GNU Radio at its core. For computational purposes, Scilab and Octave can be interfaced with Sandhi. Sandhi uses a special wrapper called Sciscipy which allows one to call scilab functions from python without having to worry about datatype conversion.
If on Ubuntu 12.04, one can directly install using command-
sudo apt-get -y install git-core autoconf automake make libtool g++ python-dev swig \
pkg-config libboost1.48-all-dev libfftw3-dev libcppunit-dev libgsl0-dev \
libusb-dev sdcc libsdl1.2-dev python-wxgtk2.8 python-numpy \
python-cheetah python-lxml doxygen python-qt4 python-qwt5-qt4 libxi-dev \
libqt4-opengl-dev libqwt5-qt4-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxrender-dev \
python-serial python-matplotlib
Please note that Sandhi has been known to not work libboost1.49 available in Ubuntu 12.10
Sciscipy is must for Sandhi's control blocks to work; to install:
Clone sciscipy-1.0.0 from our repository; run install script from the directory with sudo privileges to automatically pull all dependencies for Sciscipy, build and install it
git clone https://github.com/manojgudi/sciscipy-1.0.0.git
cd sciscipy-1.0.0/
sudo ./install
git clone http://github.com/manojgudi/sandhi.git
cd sandhi/
git submodule init
git submodule update
-- UPDATING FROM EXISTING CHECKOUT --
cd sandhi/
git pull origin master
git submodule update
cd sandhi/
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ../
make -j 2
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

- I am not able to run SBHS with plant-controller block of Sandhi.
Mostly you don't have sufficient permissions to access /dev/ttyUSB0 (which is SBHS device node in Ubuntu). To solve this, just add your user to dialout group.
sudo adduser `whoami` dialout
Logout User and check.
