Dear Leonardo Mariga;
could you please help me solve this problem?

I want to send variables from Simulink to Arduino (for example 7 variables) each variable has a value varying from [0 to 255]
Then, send these variables from Arduino to Simulink.

Thank you for your support.

when I try to use this code with an arduino which has servo motor connected to it, I got servo motor turning randomly when I try to start or close the simulation!!

I have tried your code to control a stepper motor through matlab, but I have a problem where the motor keeps running away all the time turns out the getFloat() keeps returning a inf number when not connected to anything. Im not sure where my problem lies here are the code that I used to recreate the problem.

`// Create a union to easily convert float to byte
typedef union{
float number;
uint8_t bytes[4];
} FLOATUNION_t;

// Create the variables you want to receive
FLOATUNION_t myValue1;
FLOATUNION_t myValue2;
FLOATUNION_t myValue3;
FLOATUNION_t myValue4;
FLOATUNION_t myValue5;
FLOATUNION_t myValue6;

// Create the variables to send
FLOATUNION_t send1;
FLOATUNION_t send2;
FLOATUNION_t send3;

void setup() {
// initialize serial, use the same boudrate in the Simulink Config block
Serial1.begin(115200);

}
void loop(){
// Get the floats from serial
myValue1.number = getFloat(); // Give your float a value
myValue2.number = getFloat(); // Give your float a value
myValue3.number = getFloat(); // Give your float a value
myValue4.number = getFloat(); // Give your float a value
myValue5.number = getFloat(); // Give your float a value
myValue6.number = getFloat(); // Give your float a value

// Do whatever you want here
Serial1.println(myValue1.number);
Serial1.println("GAE");
//Serial1.println(myValue1);

// Send some variables back
send1.number = myValue1.number+myValue2.number;
send2.number = myValue3.number+myValue4.number;
send3.number = myValue5.number+myValue6.number;

// Print header: Important to avoid sync errors!
Serial1.write('A');

// Print float data
for (int i=0; i<4; i++){
Serial1.write(send1.bytes[i]);
}
for (int i=0; i<4; i++){
Serial1.write(send2.bytes[i]);
}
for (int i=0; i<4; i++){
Serial1.write(send3.bytes[i]);
}
// Print terminator
Serial1.print('\n');

// Use the same delay in the Serial Receive block
delay(50);
}

float getFloat(){
int cont = 0;
FLOATUNION_t f;
while (cont < 4 ){
f.bytes[cont] = Serial1.read() ;
cont = cont +1;
}
return f.number;
}`

Hi there,

Work done in this repository is commendable and useful for real-world applications

I am exploring the feasibility of incorporating the data acquisition method proposed in this repository through Simulink Desktop Real-Time. The current approach needs to be revised for higher data rates, such as 1000 Samples/Second.

Please see the thread below:
