Hello Kara,
To convert the given Arduino C/C++ code into MATLAB code, follow the steps mentioned below:
Step-1: Open MATLAB, go to Home tab, click on Add-ons and install the MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware.
Step-2: Establish the connection between MATLAB and Arduino hardware board using “arduino” object.
Step-3: Define the pins and configure them as inputs and outputs using “configurePin”.
Step-4: Replace “digitalRead” with “readDigitalPin” and “digitalWrite” with “writeDigitalPin” in the Arduino C/C++ code.
Syntax format and more information is given in the documentation below:
readDigitalPin: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/supportpkg/arduinoio.readdigitalpin.html#:~:text=readDigitalPin(a%2Cpin)-,Description,-example
writeDigitalPin:
Here is the rough conversion of Arduino C/C++ code to MATLAB code to get started:
% Create an Arduino object
a = arduino('port_name', 'board_name');
% Define pins
motionPin = 'D2'; % Pin connected to motion detector
ledPin = 'D13'; %LED pin - active-high
% Configure pins
configurePin(a, motionPin, 'DigitalInput');
configurePin(a, ledPin, 'DigitalOutput');
% Main loop
while true
% Read the motion sensor
proximity = readDigitalPin(a, motionPin);
if proximity == 0 %If the sensor's output goes low, motion is detected
writeDigitalPin(a, ledPin, 1); % Turn on the LED
disp('Motion detected!');
else
writeDigitalPin(a, ledPin, 0); % Turn off the LED
end
end
Hope you find this helpful!
