2.) then another question is as topic above "can/how matlab interface with arduino software? software to software"

im very new in arduino, hopes someone may help out

Have you seen the section in the Arduino playground titled: MATLAB Interface for Arduino ?

oh im sure i dint see, sorry. but thanks alot yea! :smiley:

MOst common is to have Matlab talk to Arduino (or whatever proc) over serial. IN theory you could also talk over ethernet, but I have not seen it yet. The baudrate of the Arduino can be set to 115200 baud - Serial.begin(115200) - according to the reference, but in practice I have used 230400 and 345600 baud too (factor 3 faster)

You can aslo search the forum in the upper right corner. => gives 8 pages of hits (not as much as google) but quite enough I guess.
