Read real-time data and send to Arduino for transmission in MATLAB

Projects General Guidance

Hi all,

I am working on a project that requires some data transmission from one arduino to another. Basically I will be reading some data in real time from a tracking system, and ask one master arduino to send those data in real time to the slave arduino ( as shown in this master-slave receiver example: https://www.lucidchart.com/), but done in MATLAB.

My main concern is that since there will not be any pin connection between the tracking system and arduino, I would have to interface with the tracking system first in MATLAB, then somehow process them to the master Arduino, then the master Arduino sends data to the slave Arduino. I know that I could use software serial, but I'm not sure how that can be done for continuous data inputs,

My questions are:

  1. How should I go about process my real-time data to the master Arduino without physical pin connection? Can this be done in MATLAB?
  2. Is there any other way that you may suggest that would reduce the latency between transmission ? (as I know that MATLAB can be slow in real-time)

This sounds like a work project.

there will not be any pin connection between the tracking system and arduino

A couple of pieces of wire, or a wireless serial link would fix that problem and be vastly simpler to implement. Give yourself a break!
