MATLAB: MATLAB Support for Arduino – Connect via ethernet

Question

Hello,

I would like to use the "MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware" for my Arduino Leonardo (with an Ethernet-Shield). However, arduinosetup gives me only three options to connect: USB, Bluetooth and Wifi.

I need to use ethernet, and not wifi (from my laptop to the router, wifi is OK but from the router to the Arduino ethernet is a must). Do you know if this is possible?

Or do I need to use the Simulink-Package in that case?

Thanks a lot!

Best, Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I understand that you would like to communicate to the board via an Ethernet Shield, and MATLAB Support Package is not giving this option. The solution would be to download and install the Simulink Support Package. Upon successful installation, in the Simulink Library Browser, you would see blocks corresponding to communication between MATLAB and Arduino via Ethernet Shield in the form of TCP/IP, UPD, or ThingSpeak. The attached image show where the blocks would be found.

Thanks,

David
