Arduino Software from MATLAB and Simulink

MATLAB and Simulink support Arduino, an inexpensive, open-source microcontroller board. Arduino boards provide flexibility for introducing concepts such as signal processing and mechatronics.

Features of the Arduino platform include:

• Wide adoption and useful support from numerous websites, newsgroups, and user forums
• Extensibility through plug-in boards for a broad range of applications, such as motor control, wireless communication, audio processing, and data logging
• Easy setup of simple signal processing or motor control projects

MATLAB and Simulink support two Arduino boards:

• Arduino Mega board (recommended), which features:
  • ATmega2560 processor running at 16 MHz
  • 128 KB of flash memory
  • 16 analog and 54 digital I/O channels with 14 PWM outputs
  • Built-in USB, SPI, and I2C/TWI connectivity
• Arduino Uno board, which features:
  • ATmega328 processor running at 16 MHz
  • 32 KB of flash memory
  • 6 analog and 14 digital I/O channels with 6 PWM outputs
  • Built-in USB, SPI, and I2C/TWI connectivity
