Use Serial Communications with Arduino Hardware
Arduino® hardware has serial ports, also known as UARTs,that can communicate with other devices that have serial interfaces.
MATLAB serial communication with Arduino uno without any support file.For complete code visit.
Hardware
You can use serial port 0 to communicate with other devicesthat have serial ports, or to communicate with a computer over theUSB port. Each serial port supports one Serial Transmit and one SerialReceive block, one block per pin. You can run your model in the Externalmode for all the Arduino boards.To know pin mapping for different Arduino boards,see Pin Mapping Table in: Pin Mapping on Arduino Blocks.
Warning
Do not connect the serial port pins to an RS-232 serial interface,such as the DE-9M connector on a computer, without limiting the voltage.The RS-232 standard allows higher voltages that can damage your hardware.For details, read the documentation for your Arduino hardware.
Transmit Serial Data
To transmit data through a serial port or USB port on the Arduinohardware:
- Add the Serial Transmit block to your model.
- Connect a data source to the block input on the SerialTransmit block.If the data type is not uint8, use a Data Type Conversion blockto convert it to uint8.
- In the Arduino Serial Transmit block,select a Port number.
- Click the Tools menu in the model, and select Run on Target HardwareOptions.In the Configuration Parameters dialog that opens, on the HardwareImplementation > Serial port properties, set the baud rate forthe serial port you selected in the Arduino Serial Transmit block.
- Connect the appropriate digital transmit pin to thehardware that receives the data.
- Run the model, as described in Run Model on Arduino Hardware.
- If your model uses the Arduino USB port (Serialport 0) to transmit data to a device that is not your host computer,reconnect the USB cable to that device and press the RESET button.
Receive Serial Data
To receive data through a serial port or USB port on the Arduino hardware:
- Add the Serial Receive block to your model.
- On the Arduino Serial Receive block,connect the Data block output to a block thatuses the data.
- Open the Arduino Serial Receive blockand specify the Port number.
- Click the Tools menu inthe model, and select Run on Target Hardware > Options.In the Configuration Parameters dialog that opens, on the HardwareImplementation > Serial port properties, set the baud rate forthe serial port you selected in the Arduino Serial Receive block.
- Connect the digital receive pin to the hardware thattransmits the data.
- Run the model, as described in Run Model on Arduino Hardware.
- If your model uses the Arduino USB port (Serialport 0) to receive data from a device that is not your host computer,reconnect the USB cable to that device and press the RESET button.

I'm trying to setup serial communication between Matlab and an Arduino. As a test I have a logical input to the Arduino (it can be either 0 or 1). I then want to pass the value of the input to Matlab and display it. Here's the Arduino code I have:
Here's the Matlab code:
I want Matlab to check the value being sent to it serially every second. What ends up happening is it just displays the first value it gets over and over again. So if the first value of the input is 1, it keeps displaying 1 over and over again regardless if the input goes back to 0. What am I doing wrong?
