Arduino I/O-Matlab basic tutorial

Summary of Arduino I/O-Matlab basic tutorial


The article is a beginner-friendly tutorial demonstrating how to connect and control an Arduino board using Matlab. It highlights the integration of these two powerful tools for engineering and technology projects. The tutorial provides essential resources for learning Matlab programming, Arduino setup, and Matlab's Arduino support package. It also lists the required hardware and software components, including Arduino, Matlab with ArduinoIO package, USB cable, LED, photodiode (or photoresistor), and resistors, enabling users to gather data and control Arduino through Matlab interfaces.

Parts used in the Arduino-Matlab Integration Project:

  • PC with Matlab installed and the ArduinoIO package from MathWorks
  • Arduino board
  • USB cable for the Arduino
  • LED
  • Photodiode (or Photoresistor as an alternative)
  • Resistors

this is my very first instructables and I was referred by an old member. Follow her link here: (http://www.instructables.com/member/Analogue-Chick/)

Its a simple illustration on how we can connect Arduino to Matlab and actually control and get information on Arduino
using Matlab

I have seen few tutorials regarding how to control or get data from Arduino using Matlab. Matlab is a very powerful tool for student and engineers a like. That’s why i want to create this tutorial as a start for those, like me want to explore the 2 powerful tools in engineering and techs.

It’s a rough start for me since this is my first post in instructables…. feel free to comment so i can improve it thanks!

here’s the vid for the demo:
