This support package is currently unable to download third-party software for MATLAB R2017a and earlier versions. For details and workaround, see this Bug Report.

MATLAB R2017b and later versions are unaffected.

MATLAB® Support Package for Arduino® Hardware enables you to use MATLAB to communicate with an Arduino board. You can read and write sensor data through the Arduino and immediately see the results in MATLAB without having to compile.
This support package is functional for R2014a and beyond.

To use Arduino hardware with MATLAB versions R2013b and earlier, see
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/32374

For installation issues with this support package, please contact MathWorks Technical Support.

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?

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 MM,

You can set the BaudRate during Arduino object creation using 'BaudRate' NV pair as follows: a = arduino('Com14','Uno','BaudRate', 115200). Please ensure that the BaudRate value specified by you is supported by the board you are using. Kindly, contact MathWorks Technical support to get further help on this.

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.

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.

Hi All,

Failing on he upload using an Arduino. Move to 2019B for A. Nothing has worked on either version so far. I have been deleting files
dont know how to change paths. But I think this is it. Not linking correcting to files to run correcting whick can be seen in the fail report document. This is not that hard. You pick your package. you download it and it should run. But it does not.

Does anyone have a solutlion?

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.

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.

Hi Le Vy,
The MotorShield L293D is not directly supported with this support package. However, you can create a custom addon library to integrate support for this shield for your workflow with the SPPKG.
Here is the Arduino Documentation link that explains the details corresponding to creating Custom Addon Libraries with the MATLAB Support Package for Arduino:
https://in.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/arduinoio/custom-arduino-libraries.html

Please feel free to contact MathWorks Techincal Support for further questions on this.

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. Besides this, it works fine for our purposes.

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.

if there is a problem in direct installing, the problem might be that the the download needs root (admin) permission to start.
choose (download only) browse to a directory that have public permissions for downloading.

after the download finishes.. just read the (readme) file .. everything next is explained

Guys, this is the solution when you are unable to install the arduino package on the add-ons manager. just download the package, DOWNLOAD BUTTON IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE ABOVE (please read). Then open your matlab command window just drag it there, Then wait for the installation to start!

YOU'RE WELCOME!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi, i installed matlab R2017a, and i need to use LSM303Exemple in order to read value from an accelerometer: first i write
a = arduino('COM5', 'Mega2560', 'Libraries', 'Pololu/LSM303')
and it's work well then i would like to Create LSM303 device object for LSM303D accelerometer
compass = addon(a, 'Pololu/LSM303')
but it doesn't work: i get this error message:
Cannot auto-detect the device type and SA0 pin state. If using an Arduino Due or an Arduino clone, specify both device
type and pin state
How can I do? please help me, it's very urgent and thanks

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 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

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!

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,

Menghan

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 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,

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

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 (view profile)

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.

This doesn't make much sense to me since I can clearly see that the file "avr/pgmspace.h" is there and the permissions are alright (Matlab is run as administrator).

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,

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?

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 am having the exact same issue as Youbin Kim on OSX Yosemite. The latest version of this code looks like it might be corrupted---the zip file cannot unpack. I was able to successfully manually install by downloading a mirror of an older version from here:

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.

Hello,

I can't install the support packet. I get always the message that I have to log on, when I try to log on, I get always the message "An error has occurred", although the email and the password are correct, do you have any idea what is the reason and what I can do?

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.

Thanks

I am trying to install MATLAB Support Package for Arduino but always at the end the following error messages appear:

C:\Users\Renato\AppData\Local\Temp\tp1f22b9b0_c576_4425_b860_3d4e2aeb8a06\simulink could not be removed.
C:\Users\Renato\AppData\Local\Temp\tp1f22b9b0_c576_4425_b860_3d4e2aeb8a06 could not be removed.

I manually remove the files and try again the installation but the error message appears again.

Has someone any idea about what I am suppose to do?

Thanks

Hi Noufal,

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).

Thanks,

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?

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

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.

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.
