[SOLVED] matlab gui serial communication

[aswathymohan]

Hi
Can anyone help me to give some idea about how to update serial data (continuously coming from the uart )in text box...?

 

[sarathhari]

First you have to create a serial object in the opening function or other callback where you begin serial communication. The object can be created as below
"serial_obj = serial('COM1'); % Change here accordingly..
set(serial_obj,'BaudRate',9600,'DataBits',8,'Parity','none','StopBits',1,'FlowControl','none');
fopen(serial_obj);"
Then uses fscanf(serial_obj,'%s',&data); this will recieve data from serial port to matlab...update the value to edit text using set keyword.

Thanks for ur rply..what is that '&data''?

Thanks for ur rply..what is that '&data''?

&data is not necessary always but some versions support that so you can either use data to recieve data serially...data will contain the variable that you recieve serially....that can be used to update value of edit text

will u pl post the code ?

try this code and if it is not working please attach your GUI, ' m3.fig' file to me.

thanks for ur rpl...problem was almost solved..It makes so much delay..how to tackle that issue?

are you using too many loops in it. If yes that may be the reason and otherwise the serial communication is causing the problem....that will be a hardware issue we cannot change that programmatically..
