- Ensure Proper Serial Communication:
- Double-check the COM port (arduinoPort = 'COM3';). Make sure it matches the port where your Arduino is connected.
- Confirm that the baud rate (115200) in MATLAB matches the baud rate in your Arduino code (Serial.begin(115200);).
2. Stabilize Serial Communication:
- Add a delay in your Arduino code after sending the data to MATLAB to ensure that the data is fully transmitted before the next iteration of the loop.
delay(10); // or adjust the delay based on your system requirements
3. Check Arduino Code:
- Ensure that the Arduino code is consistently sending data in the expected format. Verify that the data is separated by commas and terminated with a semicolon.
4. Handle Errors:
- Implement error handling in your MATLAB code to gracefully handle situations where the expected data is not received within the timeout period.
try
data_str = readline(s);
catch
disp('Error reading data. Check the communication.');
continue; % Skip the current iteration and move to the next
end
5. Increase Timeout Period:
- You can increase the timeout period to give more time for data to be received.
configureTerminator(s, ";");
s.Timeout = 10; % or adjust the timeout based on your needs
5. Debugging:
- Print debug information in both the Arduino and MATLAB code to see the data being sent and received. This can help identify where the issue is occurring.
