Setup and Configuration
R2026bInstall hardware support and set up hardware connection
Before connecting to your Arduino® hardware, you must install MATLAB® Support Package for Arduino Hardware. Then, you can use Arduino Explorer to interactively set up and configure your hardware in MATLAB and MATLAB Online™. For more information, see Set Up and Connect to Arduino and Arduino-compatible Boards Using Arduino Explorer.
For a complete list of hardware supported in the installed version of MATLAB, see Supported Hardware. For more information regarding supported boards, workflows, and platforms supported on MATLAB Online, see Get Started with MATLAB Online for Arduino.
