Byte and Bit definition in MATLAB

[shahbaz.ele]

Dear all I want to make a byte in MATLAB, Bits of the byte are set to 1 or 0 on specific process, then send it through serial port to other device.
I found no method of defining byte and bits in MATLAB.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,

You can obtain a 8 bit value by the notation
ui = uint8(X);
see also Convert to unsigned integer - MATLAB

You can also use bitwise operations on those values: **broken link removed**

as i remember matlab have serial port functions too. it is like 'serial', 'fopen', 'fclose' ... research these func. it would be help to you.

Problem in Serial is that we have to send the no as char etc like '11001100'.
I want to deal these bits separately and then transmit as One Byte.
Like B = Byte value;
b1 b2 ...b8 are bits, which are set and reset against some conditions.
Then Byte B = [b1 b2 ... b8] send at serial
