Arduino, matlab and servo control

Using Arduino Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer
6

ok, now i got another problem.

i want to sent not only numbers to arduino with matlab.

i want to send following code:

p7m45g

this means: servo on pin 7 with 45 degree

how can i send this with matlab?

my code is:

%% Arduino Servo Controller

arduino = serial('COM3','BaudRate',9600); % Set ComPort

fopen(arduino);

pause(0.1) % this is very important! arduino needs a little time to initialise the fopen command, because it resets it!

fprintf(arduino,'%s','p7m20g')

fclose(arduino);
delete(arduino)
clear arduino

but it doesnt work, any ideo?

---moe

edit:

ok, solved it.
you have to set the pause after fopen longer.
a pause of 1.7 seconds worked
is there any other way to solve this?

%% Arduino Servo Controller

arduino = serial('COM3','BaudRate',115200); % Set ComPort

fopen(arduino);

pause(1.7) % this is very important! arduino needs a little time to initialise the fopen command, because it resets it!

fprintf(arduino,'%s','p7m45g') %servo on pin 7 to 45 degree
fprintf(arduino,'%s','p6m135g') % servo on pin 6 to 135 degree

fclose(arduino);
delete(arduino)
clear arduino
