With MATLAB and Simulink Support Packages for Arduino® hardware, you can use MATLAB and Simulink to interactively communicate with your Arduino. Simulink also enables you to perform model deployment for standalone operations on Arduino boards.
Simulink support package for Arduino lets you develop algorithms in Simulink, a block diagram environment for modeling dynamic systems and developing algorithms, and run the algorithms standalone on your Arduino. The support package extends Simulink with blocks for configuring and accessing Arduino sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces.
Modify your algorithm and monitor the effect of the modified design using peripheral data from the hardware in a near real-time environment with only one-time deployment.
Tune model parameters and evaluate the effects of different parameter values on model results in real-time.
Develop algorithms and deploy your Simulink models as standalone executables that run on your Arduino hardware.
Implement custom MATLAB functions in a Simulink model.
Extended sensor catalogue covering range of IMU, environmental, and distance measurement sensors.
Learn important engineering concepts while programming motorcycle projects with Simulink.

Creating a virtual hands-on mechatronics course with MATLAB, Simulink, and the Arduino Engineering Kit
MATLAB is a programming and numeric computing platform for prototyping and refining algorithms. Using MATLAB for your Arduino projects is easy, and you can see results from I/O instructions immediately, without recompiling. MATLAB includes thousands of built-in math, engineering, and plotting functions that you can use for your Arduino programming.
Setup an Arduino board; read, write, and analyze data from the board; and generate equivalent MATLAB code through an interactive UI.
Communicate with a wide range of sensors, including IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), environmental, and distance measurement sensors, right out of the box.
Communicate with an Arduino board over USB Cable or Wi-Fi to access peripheral devices and sensors connected over I2C, SPI, or CAN. Also drive DC, servo, and stepper motors.
Build custom add-ons to interface with additional hardware and software libraries.
Learn important engineering concepts while programming drawing robots or Rover projects with MATLAB.
