In this tutorial you will know how to create a speech recognition app that will convert your speech to text and send command to your arduino and do certain task that matches your command, you don't have any control over the speech to text conversion process, it is entirely depend on the google speech to text conversion engine, we will be making use of the speech to conversion process in this app, when the process of getting converting the text is over we will be sending the converted command to Arduino. You also need internet connectivity to do this process because google speech to conversion engine depends on Internet connectivity to do this you cannot do this process offline, you need to be connected with internet when following and working this tutorial.

Once you complete this app you can use this for many applications including Home Automation, Controlling a Bluetooth robot, sending voice command to do a process there are many possibilities with this application. The same hardware what you have created previous tutorial is enough for this tutorial you don't need to change your hardware connection to make this work. Keep your hardware same connect this app to your arduino and start to send your command.3. Servo Motor control using Arduino and Android.

You may think what's so much with Simulink, as it may be like next other software tool to program an arduino, just think of a moment, have you ever played with MIT scratch??? Have you felt the fun of programming just drag and dropping buttons makes arduino to run without going doing much process, If your answer is yes to the question then think for a moment!!

What about combining the fun of MIT scratch and powerful programming language, yeah that's the fun you can get when you combine and make it running with Simulink. In this blog you will get to know from how to install required software to complete the whole bunch of tutorial, this is more sufficient to take next step using this hardware, I have created all the videos with much in depth detail on how to get started to finish up things, This video tutorial covers most of day to day life hardware stuffs we interface with Arduino. If you own an Arduino starter kit that is more sufficient to get work with this project, and your intention is to get started you own arduino Matlab projects, I can vouch that after completing this entire video course you can get your hands on the project you would like to build using Arduino and Matlab simulink.

How to blink an LED using Arduino and Simulink.If you reached this stage, congratulation on installing Arduino support for Matlab and Simulink, Here the stage where we going to connect Arduino to Matlab and program it directly using Simulink, you might have used some Software before which are not capable of Programming the Hardware directly, you can't upload your Matlab code to Arduino EEPROM, you need Simulink to program it. Let's do the hello world of electronics, in case of software program we always test it with 'hello world' program in this case we going to test hardware that is arduino connected to Matalb software and going to upload program from simulink. Once you start to program you may find it more easier than using Arduino IDE. Just a few blocks connect together and your program is ready to upload, not only upload your code and leave you can actually verify the data on the screen, it is more useful when you are using this for project which involves many more functions, say you want to test this hardware with PID function, yes you can do it and fine tune it by getting feedback from the Arduino this allows you to do perfect programming by getting the result from the hardware.

Labview Arduino Serial Communication

You have just learnt about blinking an LED, lets focus on different methods on blink an LED, you will know what are the other ways to make things works. There are many blocks that are available in Simulink, we will try all the blocks and get to know what are different ways in achieving a task, you are not just blinking an LED with these tutorials we are using LED as verifier for our program, you can use these function to implement on any other devices, think of a device which requires these functions in realtime and make use of it. Hey there so you have completed this tutorial too with LED:D, don't you think about something that we used a slider that is available inside the software, but the guy who did this tutorial said in the beginning that simulink can be used for permanently program this chip, what will happen if I deployed the program to Arduino Hardware? How am I gonna apply PWM function to it?? So many questions, yeah go ahead and try learn from it, and comment or send me a reply on what's happening with it, I am waiting for your reply:).3.

After completing this tutorial you would have understand the importance of Simulink programming with Matlab, you can verify your code in realtime with Simulink support, you can fine tune your program till you achieve your results. As we seen earlier about PID, Now you would have understand how you can tune your PID functions, it is exactly like the one we did it here, where we can use PID blocks get the data to run, check on the monitor for error and fine tune our program it, how easily I said, I know the feel:P. In the previous tutorial you have learned how to acquire analog sensor and control an LED, we going to follow the same set of rules, the blocks are going to be same for this tutorial but, instead of Potentiometer we going to use LDR ( light dependent resistor) from name you can identify the function of this sensor, it resistance depend upon light, what happen if the resistance increase or decrease??

It will affect the output of the resistance, in the previous case we have control over the knob of the potentiometer we made to turn and turn and had control over it, the same thing this LDR is depend on LIGHT to control it, but we can allow and block the light to the sensor:P, so you need a potentiometer to make this tutorial work for you, other than potentiometer you would have know what I usually use:D, yeah that's the device you need. In this chapter we are not using anything like LED's, happy now, yeah I know you guys would have happy after a 4 long tutorials we have eliminated the LED's from our way. What is this LM35 sensor, It is a temperature sensor, the only reason I am using this guy, He's very cheap I bought this sensor just under 50 cent. When compare to other sensor in the market this little guy is cheap and reliable, This sensor is exactly uses the same blocks we used for previous tutorials, what's the deal in it how can we use it as Temperature sensor then?? Acquire analog data do some math, yeah you got it right there you will get a Temperature data more or less accurate if it's above 0 degree, this sensor can calculate from 0 to 100 degree in centigrade. It has some simple math which you can find in the data sheet, if you never know about data sheet as I always said please google it and find about this guy, you should have a data sheet for all the product you buy, which has all the details about the product and what the product are capable. Connect LM35 sensor to Analog pin, drag and drop blocks in simulink, see the results on Matlab window, you can actually use filters to make the temperature sensor to work perfect, try to get hands on it.

Don't stop with the point that guy says in the video tutorial. Lets use a button that is connected to the digital pin of Arduino and program for it in Matlab Simulink and pick and place some blocks to the simulink environment and make the program to work, it is simple as you think, follow the video tutorial to know how to do it. In this video you will find how to acquire digital data and look up on the graph how the signal responds when we click a button, you see how the signal rises and falls, I have also connected a touch button where it's so fun to use it instead of traditional button in this tutorial, you will also learn how to Turn on and off an LED by controlling the push button. In the later on tutorials you will know how to use this example and convert it as real time project by replacing the button with sensors. As we have seen we can get only two state from a digital devices if we use a digital sensor it can produce only two possible conditions as output, using this we can make many applications lets check this one after another.Project 1: Gas leakage Alarm Detector:In the last lesson we have seen how to work with digital pin and at the end of the tutorial we have seen how to turn on and off an led with arduino and Matlab simulink, we going to use the same function and same set of process just by changing the sensors. You will know how to interface a gas sensor to Arduino and read its input using Matlab simulink and based upon the sensor output you will process the data and do perform some conditional based decision on the program.if the sensor detects gas ( I used mq-07 sensor) you can use any of the LPG gas detector which can work well with this project.when the sensor detects gas it will give high or low as output signal based on your sensor model and manufacturer. When we detect output from a sensor as positive we need to turn on a buzzer.

The process is very simple, check the video and witness the output and learn to do a project with this tutorial. 8: How to make a DC motor to workMotors are always fun to work with, In this tutorial we will see how to control a toy DC motor using an L293D Motor driver, if you want to know more about this, firstly learn about H-bridge and how we can control a motor using H-bridge, if you complete this tutorial then you ready to do a automatic program for a toy car with arduino, understand the function of L293D motor and apply control logic to the Motor driver from Matlab simulink and control a DC toy motor with the help of Arduino. Until now we have used all the functions that is available in the simulink library, what if you want to create a new function that is not existing in the simulink, many times you may download a library for Arduino to work with new devices the same applies here for the Matlab we cannot expect library for all the functions, we need to create our own libraries, Matlab simulink has the function called S-function to create user defined library and by creating this you can use any device you want to use with Matlab simulink and arduino. You can follow this tutorial to know about all this new thing and how easy it is to do it. If you have reached this place, thanks for watching all the tutorials with patience, please leave your feedback for this course, have you enjoyed this course or the guy is not delivering what you expected to finish at this level, if you have any comments about this please leave your comment to the blog or you can leave the comments on YouTube videos, if you sitll want to personally bash me or want to trash me you can email me @ jayakumarmagesh@gmail.com.

All the suggestionns and critics are welcome. If you are looking to make your arduino talk wiith Matlab, usually this is done by serial communication between Matlab and arduino, where we separately write program for Matlab and arduino, we pass data from and process in Matlab, but you don't need to do such things any more, Matlab developed a software for interfacing low cost hardware like arduino, Beaglebone black, Raspberry pi etc., You can use any of the arduino hardware with Matlab, try to use Arduino Mega or Due, the most popular Arduino boards lack of memory and process will slow down when program from simulink. To follow this tutorial you need to install arduino support package to continue this tutorial, you can check my other blog post on how to install support for arduino in Matalb. You can do many interactive project using matlab and arduino.here is a tutorial to show you how to program Arduino from Matlab simulink, a powerful graphical programming language which is used in industries. In this tutorial you will learn about how to blink an LED using Arduino and programming from Matlab Simulink. Before starting this tutorial check out the introduction section to know about what are the needs to get started with this tutorial and how to install the software and hardware requirements.Check the video below to know how to control an LED by using Matlab, if you are not sure about how to install the Hardware support for arduino in Matlab check the tutorial.

Serial Communication With Labview Tutorial Blocked

To use Arduino with LabVIEW you need to have installed the toolkit called Linx in with your existing LabVIEW software to get your arduino speak with LabVIEW, you can find all the tutorial on how to install linx toolkit and what are the other requirements that you need to carry out to complete this video course on interfacing labview with arduino. LabVIEW uses serial communication to talk with arduino, you need to have Ni-Visa software to be installed with your LabVIEW, Ni-visa is responsible for connecting all the hardware to talk with LabVIEW. You can also follow the book which also have all the tutorials given below as a step by step instruction and all the codes and necessary files that have done in this video tutorial are also given in the book, if you wish to buy it just give it a shot, but you don't need to have this book to complete this video tutorial, when you buy this book, it gives me a $1.8 which helps me to buy more hardware and experiment on new things. You can use Arduino Mega or Arduino Nano with this tutorial and start playing with LabVIEW, you can use your own custom hardware too, don't stop your experience learn always something new, add this one course to you that you something now.

For the below tutorial you need to have a Arduino board with Led to blink and a usb cable to connect to your computer, make sure you installing necessary software to make this thing happen in reality. Don't stop with theory or video, get your hands on practice and learn something out of it. Even if you fail to do, it is a experience that we gaining from instead of without practising.Chapter 1: How to interface Arduino with LabVIEW and to blink an LED short and sweet video get you through start to finish and at the end you would have understand how easy is to do it, LabVIEW uses G-programming which is a drag and drop boxes and connecting it together and programming, you will become familiar with these things once get started. In the previous video you would have learned about how to work with an LED and how to work with analog devices, in this tutorial you will know how to use the last tutorial and combined these tutorial together to work on this tutorial. PWM is the pulse width modulation, it will entire post if we start to talk about this PWM, in simple words lets control the brightness of an LED by controlling the voltage applied to the digital pin, you can use PWM to work with many realtime application most often in electronics to work with PWM we all will be introduced to control brightness of an LED at the initial stage.

Chapter 4, Automatic Light Controller using LDRback in the days, you might be wonder how a light automatically turn off or on based upon the light intensity, later on you would have understand how it works and what basically makes this thing to get work, you still could see a wall clock which strike every hour and stops in the night time or its volume getting decreased based upon the intensity of lights. Chapter 6 How to work with accelerometerIn this video tutorial you will know how to acquire accelerometer data and plot a graph upon it, it is really a piece of cake when you using I2C devices with linx and labview they have all the functions to make it work. Try to learn more about i2c protocol how this devices works, you can connect upto 128 i2c devices arduino., what allows this possible? Who made this protocol? How fast as this device respond? What is the difference between i2c and spi?

If you are getting questions like this then you are learning, google and get your feet under it to check answer for all the stupid questions that came to my mind when started with i2c.what you need? An adxl accelerometer and an arduino to make this work. Chapter 7, Servo motor with LabVIEW and Arduinoit is always fun to work this little guys as they respond quickly and also eats lot of power these tiny guys have more muscle power than the ordinary motors, if you are more curious please try to make a toy car out of a tower pro 9g servo and a toy motor (plane motor without gear), you toy motor never move the car an inch, just find the reason for it?

If you learn about it, things will become quite interesting later on. Give it a try.you need a servo motor and Arduino and you should connected your arduino with external power, power supplied from your computer through USB will not be sufficient enough to drive this crazy power hungry fellows. Chapter 8, working with AC appliancesIn the earlier chapter we have already talked about relay and what you can do about it?

Not at all but there is a hint on relay given in the previous chapter, hope you learn about it?if you completed learning about relay and more important if you know more about AC circuit and its operation go ahead on this project. Arduino and labVIEW don't have direct control over your AC appliance, this video is just like turn on and off an LED but what make possible to control a AC light or fan is the relay, he is the hero for this tutorial, make sure you learnt all that and take necessary precaution before trying this tutorial.

Labview Communications Tutorial

Limitation of this video tutorial: as this tutorial is more focussed on beginners many concepts were not explored in the future you can expect videos on how to add custom command and how to add more sensor supports to these videos, and also learn about more frequency interfaced devices like DHT11, DHT22, DHT23, DHT33, with arduino and labview, there is also a support will be added to one wire and other features, if you want to use an LCD screen with Arduino and Labview you can use an I2C LCD which is supported well.

If you are a new user for electronics and want to create projects like a pro, Here's the tutorial for you.This is not a single tutorial, This is going to followed by series of tutorials to complete a crash course on How to use LabVIEW to acquire different data's like analog and digital data's from external devices and control different devices from LabVIEW. For this complete series of tutorial I used Seeedstudio's Lotus Kit which is really easy to use for a novice user and those who don't like to get crappy with more wires and getting confused with which wires goes into which pin of Arduino.Complete the Video tutorials and Make great Projects using these simple ideas.The above Video explains How to get started with LabVIEW and What are the necessary software to install to get started with.
