I am using Arduino hardware with various add-on modules (shields), and I would like to design a Simulink model to integrate with this hardware. Currently, the "Target for Use with Arduino Hardware" library does not contain any blocks that allow me to interact with the Arduino shields that I am using.

Is it possible to create custom blocks from Arduino libraries which can be used with the Run on Target Hardware feature? Additionally, is it possible to use the student version of Simulink for the entirety of this workflow?
