Arduino Uno Connection in R2024a for Standalone Application

Hi All,

I recently updated to R2024a and now when I try to connect to my Arduino in a standalone application, instead of asking for the IDE it now asks for a CLI. I'm not really too familiar with this.

Before I had an input that specified the IDE path, but now I can't even have it successfully connect because there's no valid CLI path. I downloaded the CLI executable and placed it in the Arduino folder but I'm not entirely sure where to go from there.

In the Configure Arduino screen I specify the Arduino CLI Path but it rejects it, saying "Enter a valid Arduino CLI path". I have no trouble connecting to the Arduino in the Matlab UI by simply running a = arduino();

Code Before:

a = arduino('COM4', 'Uno', 'ArduinoIDEPath', 'C:\Program Files\arduino-1.8.16')

I'm assuming that once I have a valid CLI path I may be able to just update the code above with something analagous, such as 'ArduinoCLIPath'

Thanks!

Hi @Nathan Kimmitt,

You can refer to the following example for a step-by-step guide on how to create standalone applications for Arduino: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/supportpkg/create-standalone-applications-for-arduino-hardware-from-matlab-programs.html.

The example also provides links to download the Arduino CLI and to set it up according to your board.

Hope this helps!
