Use Matlab to read serial data

29 Oct 2013

Matlab can be configured to read serial data that can be send through a microcontroller. Here is the code for Matlab to read a single line and print. Assume that you are sending ascii character values through microcontroller separated by new line.Here is the Matlab code to receive the data.

obj1 = instrfind('Type', 'serial', 'Port', 'COM13', 'Tag', '');   
% Create the serial port objectif it does not exist   
% otherwise use the object that was found.   
if isempty(obj1)   
 obj1 = serial('COM13');   
else   
 fclose(obj1);   
 obj1 = obj1(1)   
end  
obj1.BaudRate=4800;  
set(obj1, 'Parity', 'even');  
set(obj1, 'StopBits', 2.0);  
fopen(obj1);  
data1=fscanf(obj1, '%s');  
data1=fscanf(obj1, '%s'); %Assume that you are sending characters and 8 bit binary no.s  
data1;                    %Use a=fread(obj1); if it's not charecter  
fclose(obj1);  
delete(obj1);    
clear obj1;

Here is the code for AVR Microcontroller to send ‘1024’ through serial port.
