== Connecting MATLAB and Arduino/Admoveo ==

=== Arduino support in MATLAB (no Admoveo robot support) ===
 * Math``Works has a software package to support Arduino directly in MATLAB. You can find the package from [[http://www.mathworks.nl/academia/arduino-software/arduino-matlab.html | its website]]. Please notice that:
  * You do need to login with your MATLAB account, in order to download the package and get access to other resources such as tutorials.
  * Check out the [[http://www.mathworks.nl/academia/arduino-software/arduino-matlab.html?sec=resources|Additional Resources]] to find a useful Webinar.
  * In the downloaded zip file, readme.txt has very detailed instructions for installing the firmware to Arduino and the necessary library to MATLAB.
  * if you plan to use servo motors, you need the [[http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoMotorShield|motor shield]] for MATLAB to control the motors properly using the given package.
  * To get the online documentation of the arduino class in MATLAB, type in "arduino(" and wait for a dialogue box to pop up:

=== MATLAB-Processing-Admoveo: Using matlabcontrol in Processing ===

 * The matlabcontrol library for Java is available from [[http://code.google.com/p/matlabcontrol/]]
 * To install the library to be used in Processing:
  1. Download "matlabcontrol jar with source files included" from [[http://code.google.com/p/matlabcontrol/downloads/list]].
  1. Rename the jar file (for example, matlabcontrol-4.0.0.jar) to "matlabcontrol.jar".
  1. Create a directory in your Processing library path: {{{<Sketchbook location>\libraries\matlabcontrol\library}}}, put "matlabcontrol.jar" in this directory.
  1. To verify your installation, start processing, go to menu "Sketch->Import Libraries", you should be able to able to import "matlabcontrol":
