i build buck boost circuit in Simulink and i want to control the switches from Arduino code

i build a bidiectional buck boost converter so, the circuit have a four switches i want to give them a pwm signal from arduino code according to a condition so, the arduino will control the flow of power by control the on state and off state of switches so how to connect the arduino and use it to control the simulink block.

Hi @ahmad salahat,

To interface your Simulink model with an Arduino, you'll need to establish serial communication so that the Arduino can send control signals to Simulink. This involves configuring your Simulink model to accept inputs from the Arduino using the 'Serial Receive' block. Once you receive these signals, you can map them to control the switch states in your buck-boost circuit.

For detailed guidance, you can refer to the MathWorks documentation on sending and receiving serial data using Arduino hardware: https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/supportpkg/arduino_ref/send-and-receive-serial-data-using-arduino-hardware.html

Please ensure you have the 'Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware' installed, which you can find here:

Hope this helps!
