Introduction

MATLAB Simulink is a powerful simulation and model-based design tool widely used in engineering and scientific communities for designing, simulating, and testing systems and control algorithms. When combined with Arduino, an open-source electronics platform based on simple hardware and software, MATLAB Simulink provides an intuitive environment for developing and prototyping embedded systems and hardware interfaces.

The integration of MATLAB Simulink with Arduino allows users to model complex control systems, simulate their behavior, and directly deploy algorithms onto Arduino hardware. This seamless connection between software simulation and hardware implementation makes it an ideal platform for learning, research, and development in fields such as robotics, automation, and embedded systems.

By using Simulink's block-based approach, users can easily create and modify system models without needing to write extensive code. The Arduino Support Package for MATLAB Simulink enables real-time data acquisition, control, and analysis, making it possible to test and validate designs in a real-world environment. This combination not only accelerates the development process but also enhances the accuracy and reliability of the resulting embedded systems.
