Tutorial 1: Matlab and Arduino with GUI Interface. Simple LED Controller.

This is my first tutorial, I explain the basics of how to install the Matlab interface onto the Arduino, and some basic hardware interfacing. I also show how to make a very basic GUI using GUIDE within Matlab. I am by NO means a pro at Matlab, I am basically teaching myself how to use it, and am still a novice myself.

This tutorial literally saved me from pulling my hair out before this project is due. Thank you so much.

I am new to connecting arduino to matlab and I found this video very helpful. Thank you very much..Please post more complex ones!!

[torretano]

Great. It's a very useful video tutorial.
finally I could connect my arduino to Matlab and it worked!
Thanks!

Ey dude, it was a great tutorial.... I first use Matlab with my ardu and it was thanks to your tutorial.... Blessings

hello pobonobo whatever you have did the code is a bit blurry in the video so is there any way to attached the file in the YouTube itself ?

[yezhao]

great tutorial. Now I can control my Microchip MCU dsPIC33 using GUI. The key is to set the serial port as a global variable, as the tutorial did.

Thanks!

Thanks for your effort. Good Try. You are the man.

Nice video. You are a true engineer in mindset... push through till it works!

[DigitalSelf]

very good! it is the base that I need for my final project, thak u!

[luiztapparo]

Really helpful man! Thanks a bunch! Hope I can make it work with sort of a slider controlling a servomotor!

[sunilsemwal]

nice video .... very help full
thanks

gracias amigo esta excelente tu vídeo.

before the gui it is needed to on matlab: file-->set path; add with subfolders; and then select the downloaded folder. at least this stopped dropping error after typing a=arduino('COM3');

By the way, awesome vid! Learned so much! But I am running into trouble: for one of my pushbuttons, I want it to blink the led at some frequency. So I put it into a while(1) loop, which never ends. How can I alter the argument of the while() command, so that it exits the loop when any other button is pressed. Thanks!

Thanks for this tutorial.I'm currently working on matlabarduino communication. However, there is a problem I encountered using the gizDuino MiniUSB. When connecting it to my computer (windows7), it doesn't appear conncted in any COM ports of d computr. Device Manager shows it is connectd as libusb-win32 devices.Therefore, executing a=arduino('COM4'), COM4 is the port where my arduino is connected as seen by arduino gui], Matlab returns "Open failed: Port: COM4 is not available. No available ports"

Undefined function 'pinMode' for input arguments of type 'double'.

Error in (line 63)
a= pinMode (4, 'output');
How to solve it? please.

Did anyone else notice that visDIJ used waste in the wrong context. Anyways, Pobonobo was showing an example that came from Matlab. He is taking his time to show people for FREE how this stuff works and interfacing with it and your here bitching about it. That is why it is called engineering, figure it out. Plus, the software was working for him and everyone else, so you can't blame the software, you can only blame yourself.
