ARDUINO BASED DEVICE CONTROL SYSTEM USING MATLAB

In present time home office appliance controlling is a common thing.  Today for controlling home/offices appliances, machinery in companies/industries uses different types of automation systems like DTMF controlled, GSM controlled and many others. So here this project is made for interfacing MATLAB (Graphic User Interfacing) and Home/office/industries automation using Arduino and MATLAB.

Here MATLAB is interfaced with Arduino through serial communication. In this Arduino is burned with an ARDUINO IO (Also Known As: "TETHERED" MATLAB SUPPORT PACKAGE FOR ARDUINO). This package allows using an Arduino connected to the computer to perform Analog and Digital Input and Output, (and command motors) from MATLAB.

Circuit Description: Circuit of this home automation system is very simple. Digital Pin number 10 of Arduino Pro Mini is directly connected to LED used as a light lamp and small fan used as selling is connected to pin number 11 of Arduino and ground of both appliances connected to Arduino ground.  And Arduino is connected to the computer over serial communication. Here I used FTDI burner for serial communication.
The programming part of this system is also very easy. There are two program files for this project one for Arduino and second for MATLAB. Arduino MATLAB program file is easily available on the internet. And MATLAB program you can build. Before programming, you have to make a user graphic interface (GUI) window in MATLAB. This GUI automatically creates a program file. Now you can write the program as you wish. But here I have programmed for LED and Fan only.
