Arduino Tutorials

Welcome to the seventh Arduino Tutorial from our Arduino Tutorial Series. In this tutorial we will learn how to connect Arduino to Matlab and how are they communicatng using the Serial Port. Also we will make an example where we will use Matlab to control the Arduino Board.

  1. ı also getting this warning when i type install_arduino.

    Warning: There is at least another arduino.m file in the path, the installation will go on but it is strongly suggested to delete
    any other version before using this one

  2. hi,
    I m triying to do same thing but i m getting an error says;

    Warning: Unsuccessful read: A timeout occurred before the Terminator was reached..
    Error in testttt (line 2)
    a = arduino(‘COM4’);

    my Uno connected to the COM4 for sure. But i am getting same error every time. I also tried with pro mini, ıt was on COM3, but result is the same. I couldn’t succeed to connect arduino via Matlab.

    Do you have any advise? Can you please help me out?

    Thanks.

    • There’s probably so problem with the connection, but I could point out anything specific. Try again to do exactly the same as described in the video. Plus the version of your Matlab and the plugin could be the problem, as they have released new Arduino plugins for the the Matlab 2015.
