Matlab and arduino interface

I have matlab 2014b on my mac and have installed arduino I/O package. I was trying to turn on/off a led through arduino but the matlab keep on showing an error.

delete(instrfind({'Port'},{'/dev/tty.wchusbserial1420'}))  
a= serial('/dev/tty.wchusbserial1420');
fopen(a);
configureDigitalPin (a,22, 'output');
writeDigitalPin(a, 22 , 1);
for i = 1:10
    writeDigitalPin(a, 22, 1);
    pause(0.5);
    writeDigitalPin(a, 22, 0);
    pause(0.5);
end

  Error using arduino (line 104)
  Connection unsuccessful, please make sure that the board is powered on, running a sketch provided with the package, and connected to
  the indicated serial port. You might also try to unplug and re-plug the USB cable before attempting a reconnection.

Thank you.

Answer for Error using arduino (line 104) Warning: Unsuccessful read: A timeout occurred before the Terminator was reached.

The answer is: 1 In the Arduino software(IDE). You need write the code, which you find in file "adioes.pde" There are three files adio, adioe, adioes. A for analog D for digital I for input O for Output E for encoder S for Servo. If you need a Servo o a encoder, you need put the code more complete adioes. 2 Compile this code and send to arduino. Close the IDE 3 To open matlab and to write a=arduino("COMxx") 4 You has finalized the Arduino instalation
