MATLAB: I want to generate C/C++ Code for ROS. % I have a Simulink model where I’m interfacing a BLDC drive using a CAN interface. The code runs before on a Speedgoat device, but it is currently not possible to generate the code for ROS.

Hi,
Interfacing Simulink models to real hardware via CAN bus or other real-time industrial protocols can be easily set up using Simulink Real-Time. It is great to know that your setup worked well with Speedgoat hardware. Documentation for setting up Speedgoat CAN I/O modules can be found here: https://www.speedgoat.com/help/slrt/page/io_main/refentry_can_landing
ROS code generation is currently not supported with Simulink Real-Time nor Speedgoat hardware. Could you say a bit more about your target hardware or about the application?
Thanks
