Hi Kizito,
To ensure that status3 and CarBatteryLevel1EditField.Value update in real-time in your callback, you should avoid relying on a while loop that continuously checks these conditions. Instead, you should use a timer.
You can use a MATLAB timer object to periodically execute the updateGUI function, which updates status3 and other UI components. This ensures that your UI always reflects the current state of the Simulink model.
First, create and start a timer in your app's startupFcn:
function startupFcn(app)
% Create a timer that calls updateGUI every 0.5 seconds
app.updateTimer = timer('ExecutionMode', 'fixedRate', ...
'Period', 0.5, ...
'TimerFcn', @(~,~) updateGUI(app));
start(app.updateTimer);
end
Make sure to add a property for the timer in your app:
properties (Access = private)
updateTimer % Timer for updating GUI
end
And don't forget to stop and delete the timer when closing the app:
function closeRequest(app)
stop(app.updateTimer);
delete(app.updateTimer);
delete(app);
end
Implementing the Logic Without Freezing the System
Instead of using a while loop within your button callback, consider implementing the logic to check status3 and CarBatteryLevel1EditField.Value within the timer callback (updateGUI).
function updateGUI(app, varargin)
% Existing code to update status3 and CarBatteryLevel1EditField.Value
% Logic to control the switch based on updated conditions
if app.CarBatteryLevel1EditField.Value == 100 && ...
strcmp(app.status3, 'WaitAtStation')
set_param('ChargingProcess/ChargeMyCar1', 'sw', '0');
else
% You can add additional conditions to turn the switch back on, if needed
end
end
Button Callback
function Charge1ButtonPushed(app, event)
set_param('ChargingProcess/ChargeMyCar1', 'sw', '1');
% The conditions are checked and handled in updateGUI
end
I hope it helps to resolve your issue.
