Hi Mohamed,
To convert Arduino C/C++ code to MATLAB code,
- “MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware” should be installed in the system.
- To setup a connection between MATLAB and Arduino hardware board, “arduino” object should be used in the code.
- Replace some Arduino IDE functions with MATLAB in-built functions in the code.
- Use “configurePin” to define input and output pin configuration.
- Use readDigitalPin and writeDigitalPin instead of digitalRead and digitalWrite respectively.
Here is the rough conversion of the given code to MATLAB code:
% initializing the "arduino" object
a = arduino();
% Define pin numbers
buzzerPin = 'D4'; % buzzer connected to digital pin 4
flamePin = 'D8'; % flame sensor connected to digital pi 8
% Configure the pins
configurePin(a, buzzerPin, 'DigitalOutput');
configurePin(a, flamePin, 'DigitalInput');
fprintf('Starting flame detection...\n');
while true
% reading from the flame sensor
readValue = readDigitalPin(a, flamePin);
if readValue == 0 % Flame detected
fprintf('FLAME, FLAME, FLAME\n');
writeDigitalPin(a, buzzerPin, 1); % Turn on the buzzer(if read is low,the turn on the buzzer as per the code in question)
else
fprintf('no flame\n');
writeDigitalPin(a, buzzerPin, 0); % Turn off the buzzer
end
pause(0.1); % Small delay to avoid overwhelming the serial output(can be optional)
end
Hope this is helpful!
