MATLAB: How to extract the values ​​from Vector Double? Index exceeds the number of array elements (0). Error in test1 (line 19) ax=m(1)

Question

I got the error message, can you please help me?

Index exceeds the number of array elements (0).

Error in test1 (line 19)

ax=m(1)

Code :

delete(instrfindall);
clear all
clc
serialPort = 'COM2';                                    
s=serial(serialPort,'BaudRate',9600); 
fopen(s);
%tic 
m=[]
while 1      
  
  x=fscanf(s) ;
  
 m=[ x];
 
  m=str2num(m)
  disp(m);
ax=m(1)
ay=m(2)
az=m(3)
end
fclose(s);

Outbut ——–>

m =

[]

m =

-0.0400 0.2700 0.3900 42.8000 15.0000 -5.0000 -7.0100 1.2200

-0.0400 0.2700 0.3900 42.8000 15.0000 -5.0000 -7.0100 1.2200

ax =

-0.0400

ay =

0.2700

az =

0.3900

m =

[]

Index exceeds the number of array elements (0).

Answer 1

you are in a loop reading from the serial port. At some point it sends you an empty line. You should check isempty(m) before you index into m
