I think you also meant the predict quantities were zero, not the update!

The prediction quantities were indeed zero, as they get discretized by multiplying with the sampling time. You're right that some discretized part of the update quantities were also zero, resulting in an identity 'A' matrix. I'll correct it, thanks!
