Simulink Support Package for Arduino Uno Hardware (R2012a)

Simulink block library for creating standalone applications for the Arduino® Uno platform

Description

Arduino (www.arduino.cc) is a low-cost open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software.

With R2012a, Simulink provides built-in support for prototyping, testing, and running models on Arduino Uno. You can design algorithms in Simulink for control systems and robotics applications, and see them perform with hardware.

To install support for Arduino Uno, type "targetinstaller" in the MATLAB Command Window.

In the Target Installer that opens, do one of the following:
• If you have not downloaded the support package, choose "Internet". Target Installer automatically downloads a support package and installs it.
• If you have already downloaded the support package, choose "Folder". Then specify the location of this support package. Target Installer installs this support package.

Simulink support for Arduino® Uno includes the following driver blocks:
• Digital Input and Output
• Analog Input and Output
• Serial Receive and Transmit
• Servo Read and Write

• Required Products: Simulink; MATLAB
• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.14 (R2012a)
• Other requirements: Simulink Support for the Arduino Uno requires a Microsoft Windows platform

how do i use this package? i can't get the exact library for arduino uno. i need step by step installation procedure, please. & one more thing, targetinstaller do not work in my matlab. i'm using 2010 version. but since the 2012 version user also obtain same problem with me. why?

[phil]

great, how do i write custom driver blocks for this?

i have followed the guide by campa and this doesnt seem to work...any ideas?

[Sagar Mody]

Referring to my earlier comment on being unable to open 'targetinstaller'---- Reinstalling R2012a did the trick! It works with the automatic download option from the internet.

Thanks

[Sagar Mody]

When I type "targetinstaller" at the MATLAB prompt, I receive an "Undefined function or variable 'targetinstaller'." error message.

I looked in the help, and it mentions an alternate method: "open a Simulink model and select Tools > Run on Target Hardware > Install/Update Support Package..." Doing this also gives an error: 'Reference to non-existant field 'Folder'' and 'Invalid option for regexprep'

I am running R2012a 32-bit, with Simulink (and Simulink Coder), on Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise.

Is it possible two send two signals from arduino to simulink throught this arduino target?

[eng Moustafa M.Lotfy]

Iuse matlab R2008a ,and Iwant to toolbox of
the arduino chip UNO

[Wolf]

Without sources this package is pointless for me. Can't learn from it an use it for other platforms.

[Ermanno]

Finally rapid prototyping with Arduino!
This library works with Arduino 2009 (or other versions like nano and fio)?
Can I use all the blocks of other libraries or is there some limitations for embedding code?

[Michael McAvoy]

I am attempting to install this package. When I type "targetinstaller" at the MATLAB prompt, I receive an "Undefined function or variable 'targetinstaller'." error message.

I looked in the help, and it mentions an alternate method: "open a Simulink model and select Tools > Run on Target Hardware > Install/Update Support Package..." However, from a Simulink model window, the Tools menu does not contain "Run on Target Hardware".

I am running R2012a 64-bit, with Simulink (and Simulink Coder), on Windows 7. Was there an installation option I missed?

Thank you for your help Gautam. I downloaded r2012a and i can drive servo. But i have a problem too. I am trying to drive two servo in same time according to my matlab calculations ''done image processing which give out the angle data for two motor''. I can not drive two motor same time and how can i send my data to similink model.

[Gautam Vallabha]

uluc: This support packages requires R2012a and Simulink. If you have these, type "targetinstaller" at the command line and follow the instructions (the support package will be downloaded automatically).

[uluc hatip]

is it work on r2010b?
And how can i download this on matlab.
I try every thing but can not download it.

[Robert White]

This is great and works very well in R2012A.

One thing that would be helpful is access to the interrupts; I tried to use a triggered subsystem but was unsuccessful. I'm not sure the right way to use interrupts in a simulink model... any advice for how to get this to work with Arduino would be great; my particular application is reading quadrature encoders from a motor. In Processing I do this using the interrupts but so far haven't figured out how to do this in simulink.

[Gautam Vallabha]

Manas, targetinstaller and associated support packages are new features in R2012a. They are not supported in earlier releases.

[Manas]

Hi, does this support earlier versions of matlab/simulink at all? I am trying to run the targetinstaller on R2010a,but its failing. Any workaround?

[cerverus33]

What's the diference with the file "Embedded Coder Support Package for Arduino"? I'm a little confuse about it

[MathWorks Simulink Team]

General guidelines:
* Please use this FileExchange page to post general comments and ratings on the support package
* If you have questions about using this support package, post your question at http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers (with tag "arduino", and product "simulink")
* If you have an enhancement request or wish to report a possible bug, contact MathWorks Technical Support at
http://www.mathworks.com/support/contact_us/

Stefan: This package does not require Embedded Coder. It only requires Simulink.

Konstantin: It is not open source as it uses proprietary technology to work with base Simulink. If you want to see how an Arduino target can be created with published interfaces, see http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/30277

Roger: Please submit enhancement requests through MathWorks Technical Support (http://www.mathworks.com/support/contact_us/)

[Stefan Disch]

Is it correct, that this package no longer requires the Embedded Coder Toolbox?

[Konstantin Volodin]

why this package is not open source?

[Roger]

Have you considered:
a) access to Uno's timers
b) ability to set PWM frequency
c) interrupt routines
