Interfacing of Arduino With Matlab/Simulink: A Presentation ON

This presentation discusses interfacing Arduino with MATLAB/Simulink. It begins with an overview of Arduino and why it is used, describing various Arduino boards. It then covers installing the Simulink Support Package for Arduino hardware and creating a basic model that changes an Arduino digital output pin. Finally, it discusses how to configure and run the model on a connected Arduino board, using an example of alternately flashing two LEDs with a timed duty cycle and delay between flashes.

INTERFACING OF ARDUINO WITH MATLAB/SIMULINK

Overview:

• What is Arduino?
• Why Arduino?
• Arduino Products
• Arduino Interfacing basics
• Arduino Interfacing Demonstration
What is Arduino??
• Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based on
easy-to-use hardware and software.

• Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor,


a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it
into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED,
publishing something online.

• We can tell our board what to do by sending a set of


instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so
we use the Arduino programming language (based on
Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on
Processing.
• Arduino was born at the Ivrea Interaction Design
Institute as an easy tool for fast prototyping, aimed at
students without a background in electronics and
programming.

• As soon as it reached a wider community, the


Arduino board started changing to adapt to new needs
and challenges, differentiating its offer from simple 8-
bit boards to products for I/O applications, wearable,
3D printing, and embedded environments.
Why Arduino??

• Inexpensive
• Cross-platform
• Simple, clear programming environment
• Open source and extensible software
• Open source and extensible hardware
Arduino boards:

Arduino UNO

Arduino MEGA
Arduino DUE

Arduino MINI

Interfacing Arduino with Simulink
For learning the interfacing of Arduino hardware with
Simulink we must have following tools available:

Software:
• Computer System with MATLAB R2012b or higher.
and installed with Simulink Support package for
Arduino Hardware.

Hardware:
• Any Arduino Board (UNO, MEGA..)
Open MATLAB:
Installing Support Package for Arduino
Open Simulink Library Browser:
Open Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware
Create a Model for Arduino Hardware
In this task, we will create a simple Simulink model that changes the state of
the Arduino digital output pin.

 In Simulink Library Browse, select New Simulink Model.

 Insert the Pulse Generator block from the Simulink Sources library to the
new model.

 Double-click the Pulse Generator block. Set the Pulse type to parameter to
Sample based and set the Sample time parameter to 0.2 second.

 Insert the Digital Output block from Simulink support package for Arduino
hardware to the model. Use the default block settings.

 Connect the Pulse Generator block to the Digital Output block.


Create a new model in Simulink
Example of a Task
Let us take a task of alternate flashing of two LED’s
with following profile :

• LEDs having 0.2 sec. time period and glows for only
40% duty cycle.

• Delay of 0.01 sec. in between glow of both LEDs.


Connect the Arduino Hardware to PC
How to Configure and Run the Model on Supported
Arduino Hardware:
 Connect the Arduino board to the computer with a USB cable.

 In the Simulink model, Click Tools > Run on Target Hardware > Prepare to Run.

 Select the Hardware Implementation pane and select the required Arduino hardware
from the Hardware board parameter list. Do not change any other settings.

 Click OK.

 In the Simulink model, click the Deploy to Hardware button on the toolbar. The
model will now be deployed to the connected Arduino hardware.

 Look at the LEDs attached to pin 9 and pin 10. The LED should blink one time
every second.

 Save your model.
