Update:: I noticed, the simulink model kind of works, I am unable to send 2 or three digit number, The arduino responds as if i am sending 2 or 3 separate single digit number. So now the question is , how do i send 2 or 3 digit numbers to arduino ?
Simulink and arduino connection using instrumentation control toolbox

Hello, I am trying to send data from simulink to matlab using instrumentation toolbox. I have a 'constant block' connected to a 'to instrument block '. I want to turn a couple of lights on and off. (In reality i want to do something more complex but i need arduino to receive numbers from simulink(0-180)) As of now the arduino receives a signal but the arduino is not able to understand the received signal(I know this cause the receive light turns on when i run the simulation). The arduino code i am using is shown below
/************************* Private Variables(serial reading)*****************/ unsigned long loopTime, currentTime; const int serStrLen = 30; char serInStr[ serStrLen ]; // array that will hold the serial input string /*************************************************************/ const int ledPin = 13; const int ledPin2 = 12;
int ch; // Values to send on channels (duration of pulse minus start, in microseconds)
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ledPin2, OUTPUT); // Set servo pin as an output pin
Serial.begin(9600); // connect to the serial port
Serial.flush();
}
void loop() {
if( readSerialString() )
{
Serial.println(serInStr);
}
ch = abs(atoi( serInStr ));
if (ch==5 )
{digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
digitalWrite(ledPin2, LOW);}
else
{digitalWrite(ledPin2, HIGH);
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);}
}
/************* Serial Reading ************************************/
uint8_t readSerialString() { if(!Serial.available()) { return 0; } delay(10); // wait a little for serial data
memset( serInStr, 0, sizeof(serInStr) ); // set it all to zero
int i = 0;
while(Serial.available() && i<serStrLen ) {
serInStr[i] = Serial.read(); // FIXME: doesn't check buffer overrun
i++;
}
return i; // return number of chars read
}
The know the above code works because when I send numbers via serial monitor, it works how it is supposed to.But when i try to send number 5 via simulink, the arduino does no respond the same way.
I am guessing i have to set a particular datatype in the 'to instrument' box or the ascii format string section in the 'to instrument' box settings.
Pls Help, any help would be appreciated.

Hey, did you manage to solve this? I think maybe I have a similar problem. Thanks

hi Shacks, I have a quick question for you: how did you configure your 'to instrument'? i.e. under 'hardware configuration'I am wondering if that is my problem. I am not having any luck getting the simplest toy model, a constant-connected-to-a'to instrument' model to build. I get a generic 'errors encountered while building' error.
