Hello,
I want to start the Simulation in Simulink via a Button on my Joystick/Wheelchair, but i can't find any predefined Blocks for this task.
Does anyone have an idea, how i can do that, or where i can find a block which can start the simulation?
Many Thanks!
Thomas

If you need to start simulation using an external command, that command needs to exist outside of the model, so it cannot be a block (blocks will only start executing once the model starts running). You might want to explore whether your joystick has a MATLAB interface, or provides an interface via any of the standard forms that MATLAB supports. Once you establish MATLAB commands to react to the joystick, you can the command set_param('modelname', 'SimulationCommand', 'start') to start simulation.
