RoBoard and Matlab questions

[wahooburger]

Hello all,

I am currently working on a project using sensor fusion of acoustic, infrared, FMCW radar sensors to perform indoor mapping. I would like to use Matlab installed on WinXP OS on the Roboard platform to implement this project.

I would greatly appreciate it if those with experience working on the RoBoard platform could point me to any tips, examples, tutorials that may instruct me on how I can use Matlab to:

Control and access the I2C hardware bus on the Roboard (get orientation data from HMC6352)

control and access the built-in A/D (capture the analog envelope output from ultrasound sensors)

Many thanks for your kind assistance!

Best Regards,
Andy

The RoBoIO library that the Roboard uses is based on C. You'll have to write some routines in C to get the data, then you can call the C code from Matlab.

You could also do the reverse, and call Matlab routines from C code but it sounds like you want to do the bulk of your coding from within Matlab.

I haven't used Matlab since college, and didn't do any interfacing with C, so sorry but I can't be of much more help on that side.
