App Designer - Arduino setup in standalone application

Hi,

I am trying to monitor a temperature sensor in a standalone application (using app designer and MATLAB Compiler) with the help of an Arduino. This works great if I configure the Arduino in Matlab with code:

arduinosetup

'arduinosetup' requires MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware.

However, this code does not work within the standalone application. So it is not possible to share the standalone application with someone who does not have MATLAB installed since the person cannot configure the Arduino. Is there a way to configure the Arduino without MATLAB so I can share the standalone application?

Thanks in advance!

Did you follow the instructions here: Create Standalone Applications for Arduino Hardware?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I did follow the instructions. So am I right in the assumption that the code "arduinosetup" should work within the standalone application without MATLAB installed. So if a different code is uploaded on the Arduino (e.g. a person is using the Arduino for another purpose), the standalone application can set up the Arduino board again with the hardware setup window from MATLAB (which appears when typing "arduinosetup" in the command window)?

Hi,

The "arduinosetup" command is not expected to work with MATLAB Compiler.

If you are interested in configuring Arduino without arduinosetup (inside a standalone application) then you can consider setting "ForceBuildOn" to true with the required libraries in arduino object creation command.

Hello Manjunatha,

I have been trying to use the "ForceBuildOn" to true when connecting with a standalone app to an arduino which is not configured for the use with matlab. Sadly it doesnt work. Is there a workarround or another way to do that?

Thanks!

Hi Christian,

You can follow these steps,

1. Open MATLAB

2. Execute >> arduinosetup and follow the screens

3. In the MATLAB command window create an Arduino object

4. clear Arduino object

5. And then launch the standalone application.

If you are still not able to resolve it then, please contact our Technical Support for further assistance.
