Anyone out there who knows how to make Matlab work with serial communications?
I'm in the early stages of writing a matlab program to do inverse kinematics for a leggy kinda robot, and I want to get it to send the numbers to a picaxe via rs232 - seems fairly straightforward?
My test program is behaving wierdly
*code*
Picaxe = serial('COM4');
set(Picaxe,'BaudRate', 9600, 'DataBits', 8, 'Parity', 'none','StopBits', 1, 'FlowControl', 'none');
fopen(Picaxe);
fprintf(Picaxe,'1234');
Picaxe.ValuesSent
B = fread(Picaxe)
stopasync(Picaxe)
fclose(Picaxe);
delete(Picaxe)
clear Picaxe
*/code*
The Picaxe code goes like this
main:
serrxd w1
pause 50
sertxd(w1)
goto main
The idea is that the picaxe gets the recieved data and sends it straight out again, but when the string is more than 1 character, as it is here, it just returns the first value, no sign of the others. Also I can't get it to terminate once Matlab has recieved the data, it just sits there until it times out and gets upset.
Feel free to ask if I haven't been clear, any and all help gratefully recieved...
