Arduino Simulink Model Integration

The Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware facilitates the creation and execution of Simulink models on Arduino boards, expanding application possibilities in system control, automation, robotics, and embedded design. This package simplifies the implementation process through automatic C/C++ code generation from Simulink blocks, including specialized Arduino library blocks for sensor interfacing, motor control, and communication protocols. Key implementation features include real-time parameter tuning during model execution, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation capabilities, and support for Arduino-specific peripherals through preconfigured blocksets. The integration enables sophisticated system development for applications like home automation, smart agriculture, and IoT solutions, where models can incorporate sensor data processing algorithms, control logic implementations, and actuator management routines. Mastering this toolset provides significant advantages in modern technology domains, particularly through its model-based design approach that combines graphical programming with direct hardware deployment. The package supports various Arduino models (Uno, Mega, Nano) and includes examples for PWM control, ADC reading, and serial communication implementation, streamlining the transition from simulation to physical prototype.
