I'm glad that's working, Nathan.
Thanks Phil, that's great!

Phil, i think the variable "lcd" needs to be defined as a global. Try to define it in the libraries pane, after all the includes, see page 16 of the guide.

Patricia what did you put instead of that "12" in the fourth comment below ? You mentioned you tried higher values but perhaps it wasn't big enough.

I would suggest, with a testing program running on the Arduino which sends data continuously, to see if you can create a connection with the serial command from MATLAB. Try sending and receiving data using that command and possibly the serial block of the instrument control toolbox.

If all fails, another option could be trying to use the Simulink Support Package instead, which might even be more appropriate in your case since it does not require a MATLAB connection to work.

Patricia, i can't think of anything. Other people were successful in using the BTShield, and, i think, the Xbee too. Does the same hardware setup work when using the IDE directly without matlab ? Can you establish a connection with a terminal program like hyperterminal ?
Let me know if you find anything.

NOTE: If you are working with external libraries and you get an “undefined reference” error that means that your code references objects defined elsewhere (in other files) and, at linking time, the linker cannot find where they are.

In this case you need to make sure that all the .c and .cpp files of the library you are using are in the current MATLAB folder and that they are all included in the "Includes" field of the "Libraries" pane of the S-Function Builder (include the .c and .cpp files directly not the .h files).

Also, make sure that you read the last section (i.e. the last 2 pages) of the driver guide, entitled: "Working with external libraries".

greetings.
First, thank you very much to you, Giampiero Campa =).
and i am attempting to control a robot with Xbee modules. and for the wireless communication we are using 2 Xbee pro series 1. They have been configured and the adiosrv.pde file has been uploaded into the arduino. I have been using your code for a=arduino('com5') in Matlab and I am getting this error:

Warning: Unsuccessful read: A timeout occurred before the Terminator was reached.
Error using arduino (line 101)
Connection unsuccessful, please make sure that the Arduino is powered on, running
either srv.pde, adiosrv.pde or mororsrv.pde, and that the board is connected to
the indicated serial port. You might also try to unplug and re-plug the USB cable
before attempting a reconnection.

Sometimes the error occurs at line 115, but I haven't done anything different to my procedure when I get this error.

ok, i have a solution for this,

is the xbee have a speed of 9600 bps by default. file has a default adiosrv 115200 and arduino.m file also. then I put them all at 9600 bps and it worked =)
is wonderful to make this interaction between matlab and arduino xbee modules through. again thank you very much Giampiero Campa

guys i have put together a little macro that will automatically make the necessary modification to the wrapper.c file
I found myself having to redo this for every rebuild of the S function and it was getting annoying.
The exe will add the extern "C" in front of the voids save/close and rename it to .cpp

@Classroom Resources,
That was the trick. I can now use any library I wish in the S-Function builder. Thank you very much

@phil,
I added this line to my Library/Object/Source files pane in the s-function builder. It seems to take care of the path issue.
