hi,
i have a doubt about the interface between Leonardo and MATLAB.
in the MATLAB Arduino IO package documentation the supported Arduinos shown are Arduino Uno,  Mega 2560, or Duemilanove ,
as Leonardo is not there on the list, let me know whether there is any incompatibilities between
MATLAB and Leonardo?

thanks

There is no incompatibility. Everything a Uno can do a Leonardo can do.
In fact the Leonardo can do more because it can look like a USB keyboard or mouse as well.

Everything a Uno can do a Leonardo can do.

On the other hand, the serial port must be opened using DtrEnable, to talk to the Leonardo. If MATLAB does not use that flag, it can't communicate with the Leonardo.

Has someone tried of getting Leonardo to work with Matlab, and even succeeded in that?

In Python it seems as easy as putting:

Code:

comport.DtrEnable = true;

(e.g. http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=16490&p=168611)

So now one should probably modify the Arduino class (arduino.m of the Arduino I/O package) in similar manner? Or simply set the DtrEnable flag to true for the Matlab programs you are about to develop?

I don't have yet Leonardo and was thinking of purchasing one also to be used with Matlab so if someone can confirm in advance that it has worked, it would be great

Still there is a possible solution for this?
