1. Connecting MATLAB and Arduino/Admoveo

1.1. Arduino support in MATLAB

• MathWorks has a software package to support Arduino directly in MATLAB. You can find the package from 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 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 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:

2. Admoveo Robot

• Install Processing and the Processing library for controlling the Admoveo robot.
