Arduino Support from MATLAB
and Simulink

Control peripherals and run algorithms on Arduino boards

With MATLAB^® and Simulink^® Support Packages for Arduino^® Hardware, you can use MATLAB and Simulink to interactively communicate with your Arduino respectively. Simulink also enables you to perform model deployment for standalone operations on Arduino boards.

Connected I/O

You can connect to and control Arduino inputs and outputs from MATLAB and Simulink. Connected I/O enables you to acquire data from sensors, control peripherals, and analyze and visualize it in MATLAB. Connected I/O also helps you prototype your ideas by using real-world data acquired from your Arduino before deploying it on the hardware. This functionality is supported from both MATLAB and Simulink through their respective hardware support packages.

MATLAB Support Package for Arduino

Write MATLAB programs to read and write data to your Arduino hardware and access connected peripheral devices such as motors, LEDs, and I2C devices.
Prototype and refine your algorithms in MATLAB while using the data from the Arduino peripherals.
Use MATLAB commands to control the peripherals without using any compiled code on your Arduino.
Analyze and process the data using one of the many built-in math, engineering, and plotting functions within MATLAB.

Deployment

You can develop algorithms and deploy your Simulink models as standalone executables that run on your Arduino hardware. Deployment is only supported by the Simulink Support Package for Arduino.

Simulink Support Package for Arduino

Develop algorithms in Simulink, which provides a block diagram environment for modeling dynamic systems and developing algorithms, and run them standalone on your Arduino hardware.
Monitor and tune (1:42) your model parameters from Simulink while the algorithm is executing in real time on your Arduino.
With the help of MATLAB Function block, you can incorporate MATLAB code into your Simulink model.
