Hello, I am running R2020b with an Arduino Uno. During the final stage of installation the install notified a technical error during the process. The support package appears as installed in Manage Add-ons, but when I call arduino() it returns "You need the MATLAB Arduino support package before you can use this feature."

Hi, I have got some serious problems with my MatLab R2020a when it comes to the "Arduino_pil_block. I mistakenly saved the pil block model that I was using to test the pil testing configurations. the pil block model updated to the newest model which has changed the desired working pil block model. is there a way out in which I can restore back to the default pil block model. Thanks in advance

Hi Arun,
yes, I am using the Arduino Nano 33 IoT that came with the Engineering Kit. Technical support doesn't seem to be included in the license it came with.

Regards,
Matthias

Arun Kumar

Hi Matthias Scheuerer, are you using genuine Arduino Nano 33 IoT included in the Arduino Engineering Kit?
Also, you may contact technical support for a quicker response.

Matthias Scheuerer

Hi,
I am using the Arduino Engineering Kit Rev2. I am experiencing a lot of breakdowns of the connection to Simulink in external mode. The Matlab help says that the problem should be solved by using an FTDI adapter. So I bought those and they work on a pure Arduino. But to use it with the Engineering Kit, the Arduino has to be connected to the Nano Motor Carrier. This shield also connects the TX and DX pins that I have to use with the FTDI adapter. I soldered additional connection pins to those on the Arduino to be able to connect it to the FTDI. But as soon as the motor carrier is enabled, when I try to upload a scetch, I always get the error message that no device is found on the COM port. Any idea on how I can use the TX DX pins while using an Arduino shield?

Thank you and regards,
Matthias

Jean-Pierre Lutgen

Hello,

Today I got the Arduino Engineering Kit Rev2 with a one year license of Matlab included, but unfortunately, the add-on "MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware" and Matlab R2019a seem to have compatibility issues with the Arduino model Nano 33 IoT, which is the central component of the mentioned Engineering Kit, so it's basically useless.
How do I tackle this problem?

Greetings

MathWorks MATLAB Hardware Team

Hi Sameer,

Nano33IoT board is supported from R2020a onwards and so is the support for the AEK Rev2's Nano motor carrier. Please consider upgrading to either R2020a or R2020b MATLAB version in order to start using the AEK Rev2 kit with MATLAB.

I dont see Nano 33 IoT board under 'Choose board'. I have wasted half a day just trying to install this...
OSX Version Catalina 10.15.2 and MATLAB_R2019a
I just got my rev 2 kit today and the MATLAB Portal license is somehow attached to R2019a, why? when I try to download latest it wont let me ask for different license.
How can I solve these issues?

Sameer Charles

I have wasted half a day trying to install. It shouldn't be this bad for Mac users

Hi Osama,

Please specify the MATLAB version, OS platform, error message, and connection type - USB or Bluetooth. If it's USB, does a = arduino works once the server is uploaded? Also, make sure you remove any arduino object existing in the workspace before carrying out a "Test Connection". If it's Bluetooth, please confirm if BT device is connected to Mega2560 after the server is uploaded and try a = arduino(<device_name>, 'Mega2560'). Please make sure the USB cable is plugged in properly post upload.

For further assistance, kindly reach out to the MathWorks Technical Support.

Matthias Scheuerer

Hi,
awesome project!
I encountered one issue when using the Nano Motor Carrier with Arduino Nano 33 IoT from the Arduino Engineering Kit Rev2.
Ports for Motor 4 (M4+, M4-) are not working with the dcmotor() command. All other three motor ports are working but not port 4. (LED in carrier is also not lighting).
I can use the port in Arduino IDE, so no hardware error. Tried different combinations of library configuration of the support package, but no luck.

Thanks,
Matthias

Hi,Matlab Hardware team!
When choosing the bluetooth types between the HC-05 and the HC-06 ,
it says that ''i have to download a toolbox''.
I want to know where to download this toolbox?
Thank you!

MathWorks MATLAB Hardware Team

Hi,

Please ensure that HC-06 hardware is not connected to the Arduino board while uploading the server. Arduino hardware should be connected to PC running MATLAB thru USB while uploading the server. After upload is successful, proceed to setup connection with HC-06 BT hardware. For further assistance on this, please contact MathWorks Technical Support.

Hi Weilung,

Glad to see that you were able to resolve the issue by changing the language settings on your machine. However, support package APIs function independently of the machine locale settings.

Kindly reach out the MathWorks Technical Support to get help on resolving the issue seen with the previous system language settings i.e. Traditional Chinese.

Thanks,

MathWorks

WEILUNG LEE

Hi MATLAB Hardware Team,
I have finally solved the problem with your keyword " machine language settings", which was the problem making a wrong installation.
My windows system language was Traditional Chinese, which caused a chaotic installation and the error messages which make no sense.
I guess many users who have OS system languages like Asian characters might encounter same trouble like me.
Finally I have set my OS system language to German, which is at least based on Latin characters and reinstall all Arduino Add-Ons again.
Before this, I have to delete all the file under C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2020b (in my case).
This data is normally set to hidden and not visible but can be typed directly in File Explorer to be shown and deleted.
Otherwise download or installation will occur due to old installation is set to ReadOnly and can't be overwritten.

Thanks for your hint and hopefully who has same problem like me can save some time from this experience.

Hi Weilung,

Apologies for the inconvenience. Please consider creating the arduino object with TraceOn option enabled and save the logs with the diary command as follows:

>> diary; a = arduino(<com_port>, 'Nano33IoT', 'Libraries', {'I2C','SPI','Servo','MotorCarrier'},'TraceOn', true);diary off

A diary.txt file should get generated in the current working directory. This would contain the error message logs.

Hi Pedro,

Like with any other I2C devices, the MATLAB I2C APIs can be used to communicate with the Garmin V3-lite LIDAR. Use the writeRegister and readRegister APIs to write command bytes to the device and read back 'n' bytes from the device.

Refer to the MATLAB documentation page to get started with the I2C APIs
https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/arduinoio/i2c-devices.html?s_tid=CRUX_lftnav

A generic workflow given below could be followed to communicate with the device:
a) Create arduino object by specifying 'I2C' library
>> a = arduino(<COM_PORT>, <BOARD_NAME>, 'Libraries', 'I2C');
b) Create an I2C device object by specifying the device address
>> d = device(a, 'I2CAddress', <ADDRESS>);
c) Use writeRegister API to write data bytes to a register address
>> writeRegister(d, <register_address>, data);
d) Use readRegister API to read back 'n' data bytes from the register address with a specified data precision like 'int16'
>> readRegister(d, <register_address>, n, precison);

Refer to the V3-lite LIDAR datasheet to specify appropriate device address, register addresses, and command bytes.

Kindly reach to the MathWorks Technical Support if you are having trouble using the I2C APIs.

Thanks,
MATLAB Hardware Team
MathWorks

Pedro Braga

Hello

For some reason I can controll a garmin v3-lite sensor via the arduino software, in Matlab even though I'm sending a signal I can't properly read it. Is there something I should include to read the i2c communications protocoll?

Much thanks in advance

Hi Thanh,

Please enable the TraceOn option (to enable debugging) while constructing the arduino object and save the error logs by issuing the following commands:

>> diary; a = arduino('COM3', 'Uno', 'TraceOn', true); diary off

The diary command generates a text file in the current working directory that contains the debug/error messages.

Kindly reach out to the MathWorks Technical Support with details on the error logs (the error log file 'diary.txt') and the MATLAB version to get help on resolving the issue(s).

Thanks,

Hello I have this problem right here " Cannot program board Uno (COM3). Please make sure the board is supported and the port
and board type are correct. For more information, see Arduino Hardware Troubleshooting." Even though I connected my arduino and it running in IDE . When i put my code in MATHLAB i DID the right port number which is COM3. I got it running like few days ago but it did not work since last night

MathWorks MATLAB Hardware Team

Hi Eduardo,

For the following scenarios - a) arduino object is deleted from the workspace or b) physical connection to the Arduino board is reestablished while the arduino object from the previous connection is still present in the workspace, consider clearing the arduino object from the workspace (applicable to scenario 'b') and recreate the same with the constructor method (applicable to both of the scenarios).

Refer to the MATLAB documentation page for getting help on using the arduino constructor
https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/arduinoio/ref/arduino.html

You do not need to reinstall the support package in order to reestablish communication with the board.

Kindly reach out to the MathWorks Technical Support if you are having trouble programming the CH340 based Nano clone board to get help on resolving the same.

I cant use the arduinosetup... just the "COM4" appears (also in the bluetooth list) and it fails to upload the arduino server... also if i connect my Hc-06 paired with the instrument control i can't see any other COM ports..
I tried --- diary; a = arduino('btspp://98D331FB425D','Due','TraceOn', true); diary off with this result : Unable to change Arduino settings with Bluetooth connection. Call arduinosetup to configure the board.
Is there a way to use directly the ArduinoIDE??? There i can load a sketch

MathWorks MATLAB Hardware Team

Hi Orazio,

Did you try uploading the sketch with Arduino IDE from within the IDERoot, whose path is given by the command:
>> arduinoio.IDERoot

Please save the error log(s) by enabling the TraceOn option while constructing the arduino object by running the following commands:
>> diary; a = arduino('/dev/cu.usbmodem14201','Due','TraceOn', true); diary off;
TraceOn will enable the debug/error messages and diary will save these to a text file under the current working directory.

MathWorks MATLAB Hardware Team

Hi Haydar,

Serial interface is not supported on 'Uno'. Please see the list of boards on which serial interface is supported by issuing the following command:
>> arduinoio.internal.ArduinoConstants.SerialLibrarySupportBoards

In order to create a serial device object, the 'Serial' library needs to be uploaded on to the hardware while constructing the arduino object. The arduino
object construction itself errors out if the board does not support serial interface.

Please follow the constructor syntax for the same:
>> a = arduino(<COM_PORT>, <BOARD_NAME>, 'Libraries', {'Serial'});
NOTE: Additional libraries can be added as per requirement.

Now, a serial object can be created successfully on the serial ports mentioned in the arduino object display with the command:
serialDev = device(a, 'SerialPort', <PORT>);

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Hi Emma,

Glad to know the support package APIs are working well for your application!

It’s rather unclear whether you are referring to the rotaryEncoder API associated with the "Quadrature Encoders" or "Motor Carrier". However, it seems you are trying to input a float value for the PPR. In general, PPR value for a rotary encoder is the count of high pulses on either of its encoder outputs over a single revolution. This can never be a negative or a float number. The PPR is usually hardware dependent and every encoder has a unique PPR rating which is mentioned in its datasheet.

To understand more on the PPR, you can refer to one such article online that briefly talks about it : https://www.electronicspecifier.com/products/sensors/understanding-the-encoder-resolution

Kindly reach out to the MathWorks Technical Support if you encounter a case/scenario where you think a non-integer PPR might be required. We would be happy to investigate and explore the possibilities.

Thanks,
MATLAB Hardware Team

this works really good. But I have experience few things. If your internet connection gets inturrupt. it is better to reinstall instead of continuing the same installation because few files get corrupt.

Haydar Jawad

Hi, i am trying to create an object for Uno but getting :
serialdevObj = device(arduinoObj,'SerialPort', 1) - i also tried 0 still no good
Serial Port '1' is not supported on Board Uno. Supported ports
on this Board are -none-.

Any help appreciated?

Emma Ries

Works pretty well! Only thing that I'm having issue with the documentation not being accurate to the actual commands. I am using the rotaryEncoder functions, and when I create an encoder, my Pulses Per Revolution is a decimal number, a double variable in Matlab. According to the documentation, I should be able to do use a double number, but when I run the code, I get an error saying that the PPR needs to be a positive integer. It works if I round my PPR to the nearest whole number, but I would still like that accuracy of the decimal number. That is my only comment so far!

I am using Matlab 2020b, Win 10 with admin rights and I cannot install MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware. I keep receiving this error:

Install Error

Failed to install the third-party software:

This is required by:
MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware

To resolve this issue, see this MATLAB Answer.

So far I tried the following, based on googling about this issue:

1. Replacing the zip folder with arduino software with different versions downloaded directly from Arduino website.
2. Installing with Firewall and/or Interned turned off.
3. Using inbuilt Matlab add-onn installer and installing using command prompt.

Nothing helped. In case this is important, I have also installed Arduino IDE and it works perfectly well.

MathWorks MATLAB Hardware Team

Hi MVali,

Can you confirm if the Nano3 board is a clone board. The Nano3 clone boards usually come up with a "CH340" driver that are not programmable with the new Atmega328 bootloader option (found in arduino-1.8.10 IDE version). If you explore the "Processor" options under the "Tools" tab in the Arduino IDE version 1.8.10, you can also see an oldbootloader option i.e. Atmega328P (Old Bootloader).The oldbootloader needs to be selected in order to program the clone board successfully.

NOTE: The following workaround steps are meant ONLY for a clone Nano3 board. Genuine Nano3 boards do not have such bootloader issues.

Now, to make it work from the MATLAB end, do the following -
a) Browse to the location returned by fullfile(arduinoio.SharedArduinoRoot ,'+arduinoio', '+internal')
b) Open the 'boards.xml' file.
c) Modify the <CPU> entry for Nano3 from atmega328 to atmega328old.
d) Restart MATLAB.
e) Create the arduino object with a force build on option as following:
>> a = arduino(<com_port>, <board_name>, 'ForceBuildOn', true)

However if you are still having trouble programming the board, please reach out to the MathWorks Technical Support with further details to get help on resolve the issue(s).

When I used MATLAB R2017b and this package, everything worked fine. After updating to R2020b, nothing works, even after reinstalling all of my add-ons and reinstalling the MATLAB and Simulink Arduino support packages. I can upload sketches from the Arduino IDE to my Nano3's still but in MATLAB I get the "avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x34" error implying a corrupted bootloader. I can only suspect this hardware package corrupted my Nano3 bootloaders because it was fine before updating to R2020b. I can fix my bootloaders with another working Nano3 but this software may corrupt them again. Any suggestions?

You guys should make it easier to install something downloaded off of the file exchange. I can't find how to add an already downloaded support package into my add-ons and I get the same error as the ones listed below if I try to install directly through add-on manager.

Hi Victoria,

Yes, you can create a standalone application for your code that utilizes the APIs from MATLAB Support Package
for Arduino Hardware. Please note that you will need to install the MATLAB Compiler before getting started with a standalone application, if not done already.

Please visit:
a) the MATLAB Documentation page on how to create standalone application from MATLAB,
https://www.mathworks.com/help/compiler/create-and-install-a-standalone-application-from-matlab- code.html#:~:text=%20Create%20Standalone%20Application%20Using%20Application%20Compiler%20App,toolstrip%2C%20click%20.%204%20Generated%20readme.txt%20More%20
and
b) the MATLAB Documentation page on how to create standalone applications for Arduino Hardware
https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/arduinoio/ug/create-standalone-applications-for-arduino-hardware-from-matlab-programs.html

Had the same problem as Imran.Reached out to Technical Support. Spoke to Adrian from Mathworks Installation Support. He was very helpfull (Thank you Adrian!). He sent me an email with two references:
"How do I perform a clean re-installation of a Support Package?": https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/318635
"Where are the MATLAB Activation and Installation log-files located?": https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/101927
Did a clean re-installation. Problem remained. Studied the log-files. Found a work-around:
Goto: Windows Control Panel. Goto: User Accounts. Change your account type to Administrator. Change User Account Control settings to "never notify". Did a clean re-installation. Problem solved. Don't forget to undo the changes you made in User Accounts and User Account Control settings after the re-installation! Hope this helps.

Hi Arpita,
I am using the Matlab version R2019b. When I tried what you suggested I unfortunatly got the same error.
My guess is that I need to get the arduino nano 3.1 with the new ATmega328p processor or use a FTDI Converter with the arduino nano 3.0.

Thanks
Jonas

Arpita Agrawal

Hi Ethan, Jonas,

Please confirm the MATLAB version you are trying to use. If you are using R2019a and later you can use 'BaudRate' NV pair during arduino object creation as below to override the default baud rate:

a = arduino('COMPORT','BOARDNAME','BaudRate',115200)

Please contact MathWorks Technical Support if you have further questions on this.

Thanks
Arpita

Jonas Schrader

Hi,
I am also working on a project with the arduino nano 3.0. I have both hardware support packages for matlab and simulink installed. The hardware setup, you do during the installation, didnt work and when I am trying to connect to the arduino this message comes up:
a = arduino('COM3', 'Nano3')
Updating server code on board Nano3 (COM3). This may take a few minutes.
Cannot program board Nano3 (COM3). Please make sure the board is supported and the port and board type are correct. For more information, see Arduino Hardware
Troubleshooting.

When I looked into the Arduino Hardware Troubleshooting, one point catched my attention:
3. Make sure you are using an FTDI converter to connect the board to computer, if you are using the old ATmega328p board.
When I am using the nano with the arduino software I need to select "ATmega328p (Old Bootloader)" as processor to be able to update code to the arduino nano.

Thanks
Jonas

Ethan Recalde Jaramillo

I installed MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware and I want to work with an arduino Nano 3.0.
Matlab cannot recognise the device because it's not original, so I found that I have to change the baudes rate of the serial port to the arduino nano hardware. For do it I have to find a folder call 'boards.xml' which appears on the download package but I can't find it.
How can I change de baudes rate ?

Hi Marcelo,

Please try to do clean re-install. You need to uninstall the existing SPPKG and delete all the files under folder obatianed by running command 'matlabshared.supportpkg.getSupportPackageRoot' on MATLAB Command prompt.

Overwrite the downloaded IDE and follow the Setup then as usual. All workes fine.
If you download the Simulink Arduino Support Package, proceed the same steps. Overwrite the downloaded IDE with the actual one then both works very well.

Only 3 Stars, while it can't be possible that such an easy bug isn't fixed, yet. Try to setup the downloading path directly to Arduino, then the actual IDE is always downloaded.

Instead of using matlab functions to control the arduino, Im using matlab to get some values then I want to send the values to Arduino IDE eg (100,200,...) then do all other computations in the Arduino IDE instead of doing them in matlab.
Can someone please help?

Hi after installing MATLAB and Simulink support for Arduino software in MATLAB 2019a, when I try to check my devices connection with: "arduino('com3', 'uno')" I am getting error stated as: "STR2DOUBLE: invalid input argument" !!!! I don't know what is wrong with it can anybody help me?

Viacheslav Sedunin

After 2019b update Matlab stopped working with Arduino at all. Had to use 2019a for a while. Now even this version stopped working, sayng it cannot see the device.
In Arduino Hardware setup for Matlab it cannot program it. At the same time in matlab itself after classic command 'a = arduino' - says: "Cannot detect Arduino hardware. Make sure Arduino hardware is properly plugged in."
Although when I plug the USB cable, Matlab sees it and says that Arduino was connected.
This ruined my experimental work for two weeks by now. Just let me use it as it was!

HI ALL

Good news it appears the package starting working when I set the Enviroment variables to C:\Program Data\ ... \R2019A and I changed from R2019B to R2019A. As far as I know 2019B does not work could be wrong. Installed alot of Arduino installation, Finally I got something going after weeks. I have a part job kills at lot of time. Add C compiler as well. I am not sure if the C compiler played a role or not.

Phillip Maser

Hi All,
Just download the Gwmin C compiler. I have unstalled and restalled the Arduino Hardware Software now 31 times. I have talked to Support. I have 6 Support Tickets in. All I get is an AutoReponsed message with same situation which means failure. They can't help me until the other tickets have been resolved which is basically the same question repeated a different way 6 times. I think I confused the situation. No Worries I will keep trying. I am going to delete 2019A and B. I should have never upgraded. Trying 2017A and B.

I am also trying enviromental variables as well. I can't find the C:\ProgramData\ File to delete it has the support packages in them
if they are corrupt. I can't get to them.

If any one has any solutions let me know.

Hi Philip/Hoang My,

Please share the MATLAB version with which you are facing failure to upload on the board.
Alternatively, you can also try to create the Arduino with 'TraceOn' NV pair set to true as below:
Example: a = arduino('COM9','Uno','TraceOn',true,'Libraries',<yourlistofLibraries>)
This will show the logs for failed upload and help you understand the reason for failed upload.
You can refer to the following arduino documentation page for more details on available NV pairs:https://in.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/arduinoio/ref/arduino.html.

Please contact MathWorks Technical Support for further help on resolving this issue.

I have an issue with the I2C implementation. I control an Adafruit ADS1115 ADC board from an Arduino Mega 2560 and this worked perfectly under Matlab 2018a. However, under Matlab 2019a I get back completely wrong data. I see that the internal methods to read and write to I2C have been completely changed, but do not know how to solve this, as there is no error message, just fully incorrect response.

If it installed a portable version of the Arduino dev environment on Linux, I would give it 5 stars. I ended up with a conflict with the .arduino15/preferences.txt file with another install of the Arduino IDE (1.8.9) that I'm using to target the esp32 micro. I ended up making the 1.8.9 install portable to resolve the preferences conflict.

HIgh Tech Man

Tim Lueth

Using Mac under OS X 10.14 with Matlab 2019a, I noticed that I get an error during "setup" and later also using the "arduino" command if the there are more that 16 USB addresses availabe (including the USB Hubs): Array exceeded (17). This bug appears only in the I/O Mode which seems also to be required to install the boot loader for the simulink interface. Thererfor, I recommend to remove all USB hubs during installation if you see this error and make the setup with less than 16 USB ports. After setup, the "arduino" command still fails for this package with more than 16 USB port, but the "MATLAB Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware" will work.

Hello,

1) Do you have a plan to add analogReadResolution() function to be able to read the analog pins with 12-bit resolution?
2) I have DUE. What is the integer to Volts conversion logic for readVoltage() function in the source code? Does it check which board is currently being used? For instance, the conversions have to be different for differnt boards fot the same reading resolution (10-bit):
- Due : analogRead(A0)*3.3/1023
- MEGA: analogRead(A0)*5.0/1023
3) Why don't you return the integer values rather than voltage when readVoltage() is used?

Works great and I am using this to teach a class with 30+ students controlling an Arduino Due. This is missing some functionality (such as DAC support for the Arduino Due) which is odd because the Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware contains this functionality.

In case it is helpful, I made a video documenting how to get started with this support package. The video is at https://youtu.be/8NQ1h0gGgX8.

Hi Ebubekir,

Thanks for writing to us. Currently, you can use Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware, to be able to compile the codes to Arduino and work with it without a connection to Host System. You can Install the same from here, https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/40312-simulink-support-package-for-arduino-hardware.

We are considering integrating this feature with MATLAB Support package in a future release.

Thanks

Hi, I have installed this add-on with Matlab2016B and have my Arduino board connected.

A simple command a = arduino() works. But when I restart Matlab and attempt the same, I get the following error message: "You need the MATLAB Arduino support package before you can use this feature. Open Support Package Installer to install support for additional MATLAB hardware.".

I am certain that the package is still installed and I have also verified the same in the Add-On Explorer as well as with the following set of commands:

>> rehash toolboxcache
>> matlabshared.supportpkg.getInstalled
Name Version Base Product
------------------------------------------- ------- ------------
MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware 16.2.3

>>
>> a = arduino()
You need the MATLAB Arduino support package before you can use this feature. Open Support Package Installer to install support for additional MATLAB hardware.

The error still persists despite the fact that the package shows as installed.

Would really appreciate any inputs from the Matlab team on this matter.

Thank you!

Hi.
Actually, it is an interesting problem.
I test this package on my friend's computer which also has MATLAB R2018a but does not have Arduino IDE. And it runs smoothly.
I believe this problem maybe rise because my computer had Arduino IDE. Because of that, it comes up with error: "Must specify exactly one sketch file". It can explain like, my Arduino IDE has one sketch file, my MATLAB has another sketch file, and the package counts two sketch files, so it cannot run.
I tried to uninstall Arduino IDE, clear all things related to Arduino IDE, but the package still detects sketch file from somewhere else. So I think the possible solution is I have to recover the whole system and do everything from scratch. But it is my last resort and it is very inconvenient.
Hope there is another way to fix it.

Arpita Agrawal

Hi Thuc Phan,

Sorry for the inconvenience. We would need to investigate more to understand the reason for this failure. Please contact MathWorks Technical Support to get help on this issue.

Easy download and installation. Don't know what the issue is for most. Only downside to this is it's very low level, hard to gain access which slows everything down.

Hello, I installed the latest revision of the Arduino Hardware package tonight and I am getting an error when attempting to Upload Arduino Server. I have used the Arduino board prior to installing the Hardware Package and am still able to program it through the Arduino IDE. I am running Windows 10 64-bit. I have tried the following potential fixes without any luck
1. Open MATLAB as Administrator
2. Uninstall - Reinstall the Arduino Hardware Package
3. Try multiple boards

I have verified the board is on COM4, the USB Driver is installed, and FTDI is working properly on other FTDI hardware.

The Arduino Uno and Mega2560 Boards both work perfectly with Arduino IDE V1.8.5.

Hi Amith,

I am assuming your question is regarding whether you will be able to use this support package to work with an Arduino Uno board. This support package works with the Arduino Uno board.

Hi Felix,
I am assuming your question is whether you can use 2 I2C PWM controllers with the support package. You should be able to use i2cdev method to create the I2C object with the PWM controller. If you have any further questions on implementing the required functionality please contact Mathworks Technical Support.

Hi Chaitanya,

The error you are seeing seems to be a bug, the pin should be reserved in SS rather than MOSI. We have made a note of it and will work on fixing it in a future release.
Currently, you can create the SPI device first and then use the SS in Digital Output mode and it should work as per your requirements.
Meanwhile, we will look into possibility of reserving the SS pin in Digital Output mode during the SPI device creation in a future release.

Thanks,

Hello!
Though I have installed this support package, when I type a=arduino(); in the command window, its says in red that MATLAB support software needs to be installed. Why is it so? Kindly help.

Chaitanya Jha

Hi! Very nice support package, but I am having an issue. I am trying to control Arduino Mega 2560 through Matlab and use it to control 11 SPI based digital potentiometers. Since I am only using my Mega 2560 as a Master device, I do not need my PIN 53 (SS) on my Mega 2560. I tried to use PIN 53 as a digital output, when I connect my SPI devices and try to control them through Mega 2560 while PIN 53 is configured as Digital Output, Matlab gives me an error "Board Mega2560, SPI communications require pins D53(MOSI) which is currently in use. To use SPI, configure them to 'SPI'." However, when I am not using PIN 53 at all, everything works fine. Why does Matlab thinks that PIN 53 is MOSI? It is clearly mentioned in Arduino's specifications that PIN 53 is SS, PIN 52 is SCK, PIN 51 is MOSI and PIN 50 is MISO.

With the MATLAB Arduino Support Package, the communication or data transfer is initiated from MATLAB, meaning Arduino board will get data from MATLAB whenever MATLAB calls it. Feel free to take a look at some of the examples in our Documentation to see if it fits with what you are trying to accomplish.

With regard to the 01 October 2016 entry by Félix González:

ArduinoServer.ino:11:23: fatal error: MWArduino.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

I was getting this, and fixed it by uninstalling the Arduino environment at C:\Program Files\Arduino, followed by uninstalling the MATLAB for Arduino package. After this I reinstalled the MATLAB for Arduino package, and started the Arduino environment from C:\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2016A\ardiono-1.6.1\. In the Arduino Preferences, set this as the sketchbook location.

Apparently there can be only one installation of the Arduino environment on the computer without getting all the Arduino path information screwed up.

Hi Stella,

Can you check if you have this folder on your computer and it is on MATLAB path? Note if you are not on Windows, the support package install path will be different.

C:\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2015b\arduinoide\toolbox\realtime\targets\arduinoide

If you add it to the MATLAB path manually, make sure you run "rehash toolboxcache".

Hi i really need this help.I have problems on connecting matlab and arduino. I have checked everything, the info on board and port, the device manager, and i even installed a new arduino. But it always show me like:
delete(instrfindall);
a = arduino('COM3','Mega2560','TraceOn', true) ;

Updating server code on board Mega2560 (COM3). Please wait.
Undefined variable "ide" or class "ide.internal.getArduinoIDERootDir".

Could anyone help me on this?

BTW, matlab is R2015b,and the arduino board is connecting a small robot. I try to control the steer by matlab

Menghan

Hi Derek,

If you are getting the same error, it is probably not related to the Firmata version issue. To help you better and faster, please contact our Technical Support team by following instructions on this page,

Derek

Hi Menghan,

Thanks for your reply. Well, I did try re-installing the package and even used a different system. However the same problem persists. I somehow think that it is linked to the firmata. Any tips on how to downgrade the board's firmata to an older version?

Thank you.

Menghan

Hi Derek,

Can you try reinstalling the support package and see if it resolves it?

Thanks,

Hi Nicolas,

Can you please show us the trace by running the following code and send us the MATLAB output texts,

a = arduino('/dev/tty.usbmodemFD131','Uno','traceon',true)

Thanks,

Nicolas Spogis

I trying to use my Arduino/Genuino UNO with Matlab in my MAC (OS X El Capitan) but cannot connect with the Arduino Board.

Fist I've tried:
a = arduino();
Cannot detect Arduino hardware. Make sure original Arduino hardware is properly plugged in. Otherwise, please specify both port and board
type. For more information, see arduino function reference page.

Then:
a=arduino('/dev/tty.usbmodemFD131','Uno')
Updating server code on board Uno (/dev/tty.usbmodemFD131). Please wait.
Cannot program board Uno (/dev/tty.usbmodemFD131). Please make sure the board is supported and the port and board type are correct.

How can I resolve this issue?

Bets regards,

Wael Hemdan

Hi Haritha,

Are you still running into a problem programming your Arduino board?

Run the following code in the MATLAB command line to obtain a trace. If that does not give you an indication of what's going wrong, share the trace in the comments, so we can follow up with you.

a = arduino('com3','uno', 'forcebuild', true, 'traceon', true)

Also, use the Arduino IDE and/or the control panel to make sure that your Arduino board is indeed on COM port 3 and that the board type is indeed "Uno".

Regards,
Wael

i have MATLAB 2014a and installed hardware support for Arduino.
when i type
a = arduino
a = arduino(port,board)

or

a = arduino
a = arduino('com2','uno')

in matlab ,it shows

Cannot program Arduino board Uno (COM3). Please make sure the board is supported and the port and board type are
correct.

please give some suggession. i am using windows7

Phillip M. Gilley

Thank you, Menghan, for your feedback. After two minor changes, I have managed to get this working. First, I made sure that Java was updated, and then installed the Java 6 SE Runtime (legacy) to match my Arduino configuration. I can't verify that the Java update was the only trick, because I also installed the Raspberry Pi Matlab support package in between all of this. Finally, by calling the direct address (as you mention), I was able to connect to the board. Another computer without these changes was still receiving the same error. Although it's possible that everything was Java related, my superstitions forced me to install the Raspberry Pi toolkit in the same order for the other machines. I did not systematically test this, but now everything is working. I hope this helps other users in the same boat!
Again, thanks for your help!

Menghan

Hi Phillip,

To find out the correct serial port for the board, type "ls /dev/tty*" in a terminal and look for the usbmodem item. The exact string shall be what you input to arduino.

Once you have that, specify both port and board to create the arduino object.

If you are still getting the error, contact Technical Support and we'd like to help you better.

Thanks,

Hi Max,

The Firmata library you installed or downloaded in C:\Users\Max\Documents\Arduino\libraries\ is taking precedence over the default shipping Firmata library in C:\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2015b\arduino-1.6.1\libraries.

Can you move the first Firmata library to another location or rename it temporarily and then try to call arduino again?

Hi mamu,

Have you tried looking at the troubleshooting documentation page here,

http://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/arduinoio/troubleshooting-in-matlab-support-package-for-arduino-hardware.html

If none of them works for you, please look at the 'Need More Help' section and post your trace output.

Hello Menghan,
when I try to connect Matlab to my arduino i get this:
"Cannot program board Uno (COM4). Please make sure the
board is supported and the port and board type are
correct."
Can you help me?

Menghan

Hi Tom,

Thanks for reporting this issue. This happens due to a source file change from Adafruit about a month ago. The solution mentioned in the link should work for all releases. Meanwhile, we are working on updating the support package to fix it.

Dear Menghan,

Thanks for the help but just found the solution to my problem!

For the people who are experiencing the same problem like I did please visit this link: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/268379-i-can-t-connect-my-adafruit-motorshield-v2-3-with-matlab2014a#comment_343753

Dear Menghan,

this is what I got:

Hi Tom,

Can you run this command to turn on the trace?

a = arduino('COM3','Uno','Libraries','Adafruit/MotorShieldV2', 'TraceOn', true)

You shall see a lot more messages at the command prompt. Can you send me the errors that you see?

Menghan

Excellent!

bram verhelst

Dear Menghan,

looks like you know a lot on this, maybe you could help me too?
I am unable to update the motorshieldv2 library to the arduino. However with the arduino IDE it works fine.

When I connect to the Arduino just by a=arduino() it works, also with specifying the com and board type. Moreover it still works if I include the 'servo' library... but when I try uploading the adafruit/motorshieldv2 library it gives me an error: Cannot program board Uno (COM3). Please make sure the board is supported and the port and board type are correct. (by the way the workspace was cleared before launching the last command in the picture below)

I am using Matlab R2015a with windows10 and the hardware support package for arduino is installed.
thanks
Tom

Hi Menghan,

I tried to install arduino support package. Due to some reasons download is getting failed. So i manually downloaded the Arduino-1.6.1-windows.zip IDE file. So I want to know how to install manually with that IDE.

Menghan

Hi reiner,

This support package is introduced in MATLAB in R2014a and onwards. Please upgrade your MATLAB or you can try the legacy support here,

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/47522-matlab-support-package-for-arduino%C2%AE-hardware

Please note that questions regarding the legacy support shall be asked at its own page.

Hope this helps.

Wow, I'm amazed! I uninstalled WinAVR and manually removed the two entries from Windows path. Now I can flawlessly connect to my Arduino just by typing "a = arduino" in the Matlab command prompt.

You're a real lifesaver, cheers! :)

Menghan

These two paths look suspicious to me: C:\WinAVR-20100110\bin;C:\WinAVR-20100110\utils\bin;

Can you try uninstalling WinAVR(if not used) or remove them from your system path temporarily and then execute the same command in MATLAB?

Hi lays25,

Can you also try this command in MATLAB?
system('C:\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2015a\arduino-1.5.6-r2\hardware\tools\g++_arm_none_eabi\bin\cs-make -f C:\Users\maciej\AppData\Local\Temp\ArduinoServer\ArduinoServer.mk')

Besides, what does getenv('PATH') return in MATLAB?

Menghan

lays25

Hi Menghan,

I tried running the command from the Windows command prompt and got no output, no error either, so I figure it compiled with no problems. I also used the "system" command from within Matlab with the same result (got "ans = 0"), no errors.

Which path variable could be causing this discrepancy?

Menghan

Hi lays25, something may be conflicting with your path, either system path or MATLAB path. Can you execute the same command in a Windows shell?(from right after Vendor returned error messages to WInterrupts.c.o and make sure it is in one line).

Also, try executing the same command in MATLAB using system function.

Let me know the results.

Hi lays25,

Can you try the following command and send me the log including all texts print out in the command prompt?
a = arduino('COM11','Due','TraceOn', true)

Menghan,

lays25

Hi Wael,

yes, the board works from the Arduino IDE. The USB cable is plugged into the Programming port. I tried downloading Arduino software and updating the drivers but they were supposedly already up to date however I did update the so-called Bossa Program Port after plugging the USB cable into the Native port of the Due.

Nevertheless, it's not working in Matlab, even though I can deploy Simulink models to the board, of course using the Programming port.

Hi, I am using Matlab 2015a and Arduino Due. I have installed all available Arduino support packages and I can successfully connect to the board through Simulink using External mode.

However, when I try to connect from the Matlab command window by entering "a = arduino('com11', 'due')", I get the following message:

Updating server code on board Due (COM11). Please wait.
Cannot program board Due (COM11). Please make sure the board is supported and the port and board type are correct.

Now I know for sure that the port is correct and the board is not faulty since my professor was able to connect to it on his laptop with Matlab 2015b, both through Simulink and Matlab command window.

What can I do to solve this problem?

Dennis

Excellent!

This package is awesome because you can either use the Arduinos as in-/output for Simulink sketches or directly run the Simulink sketches on the Arduino (external mode only with Arduino MEGA and DUE). It is just a button to press to achieve all of that, which is essential for Students and other newbies. Also: You don't need MATLAB coder, which is expensive and not available for standard student versions.

(I am using MATLAB 2015a and both external mode on the Mega and DUE worked.)

I keep getting an error during install. It says it can't unzip the "arduino-1.5.6-r2-macosx.zip" file. I have tried manually unzipping it as well and it doesn't work. I've tried downloading the package and installing separately as well. Help would be appreciated.

Hi Renato,

Were you able to install the package successfully? We have not seen this issue before. Can you give us a little more information with MATLAB release number? Also, do you have any other support packages installed? Is this during a reinstall or a fresh install?

If you still have the issue, it will also greatly help if you come through MathWorks technical support for us to better help with your problem.

Do you see this error consistently? Sometimes, the Arduino server may not be available, you may try to download the support package at a different time if you have not done so.
If the above does not help, can you please let us know more information including your MATLAB version, your region(which may affect server access and download speed).

Hi,

The support package cannot be obtained through a regular browser. It can only be downloaded through the Support Package Installer in MATLAB and the installer needs Internet access.

If you have another computer at home or your personal laptop on which MATLAB does have Internet access, you can download the support package there using "Download From Internet" option in the installer. Then, copy the downloaded files into your university's computer, choose "Install From Folder" option and use the path of the folder which contains the files.

Hope this helps.

Very annoying that this package can only be obtained through Matlab application itself. I'm trying to work with Arduinos and Matlab in my university but Matlab is not allowed to make connection to internet (not allowed by university guidelines), so I have no idea how to get this support package.

Is there any solution to get this package through a standarf browser?

John Hedengren

We used MATLAB and an Arduino UNO (Ruggediuno) for our process control lab starting in 2013. We were able to build 40 lab kits for ~$50 each and distribute them to students. Below is a link to our source code for the lab.

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/48016-arduino-matlab-process-control-lab

The lab is featured in the December issue of CACHE news. The article includes a number of lessons learned with regards to improving student experience. It was a positive experience the second year (2014) after we worked out some important details.

http://apmonitor.com/che436/uploads/Main/Hands_on_Process_Control_CACHE.pdf

We're interested in continuing to improve the Arduino lab. Please contact me with any suggestions on additional modules related to Process Dynamics and Control: john.hedengren@byu.edu.

Hey Jason,

Same problem here for me too. I can't properly see a 50 Hz sine wave with this package or with the other ArduinoIO Package(Simulink).
It's really annoying that a capable microprocessor card can't see the waves that has greater frequency than 25 Hz.

You found any solutions to this problem ?
Thanks

Any suggestions?

James

Works well. Had no issues installing.

Neil

Also getting a 403 error, does not appear to be fixed yet

Mat

Getting a 403 error now.

Menghan

The download issue is caused by the fact that Arduino team has changed their download link for the version of IDE we use. The issue has been fixed already. Please try installing the support package again.
Please also feel free to contact our Technical Support for any other technical questions you may have with the support package.

Thanks.

Daniel

Any fix for download fail error?

Jason Chen

Mathworks states that the Matlab support package is not real time and the loop time can't be less than 40 ms (25 Hz). I'm using an Arduino for a real time application and like to transfer data to the computer to display later. I hope the serial data buffer can catch the data at faster rate.

I tried the Simulink Arduino support package. It doesn't work well in external mode either, especially for Due.

Pavlos Triantafyllou

How can the default baud rate change?
