readRegister

Read data from I2C device register

collapse all in page

Add-On Required: This feature requires the MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware add-on.

Syntax

out = readRegister(dev,register)
out = readRegister(dev,register,precision)

Description

out = readRegister(dev,register) returns data read from the I2C device register.

example

out = readRegister(dev,register,precision) also specifies the data precision.

This example uses:

Open Live Script

Create an Arduino object and attach an I2C device object to it.

a = arduino('COM9','Uno','Libraries','I2C');

Use an address to create the I2C device connection.

dev = device(a,'I2CAddress','0x55')
dev = 
  device with properties:

             Interface: 'I2C'
            I2CAddress: 85 ('0x55')
                   Bus: 0
                SCLPin: 'A5'
                SDAPin: 'A4'
               BitRate: 100000 (bits/s)

Show functions

Write value 10 to the I2C device register at address 20.

writeRegister(dev,20,10);

Read from the I2C device register at address 20.

value = readRegister(dev,20)
value = 10

This example uses:

Open Live Script

Create an Arduino object and attach an I2C device object to it.

a = arduino('COM9','Uno','Libraries','I2C');

Use an address to create the I2C device connection.

dev = device(a,'I2CAddress','0x54');

Write value 224 to the I2C device register at address 20 with the precision of uint16

writeRegister(dev, 20, 224,'uint16');

Read from the I2C device register at address 20 with the precision of uint16.

value = readRegister(dev,20,'uint16')
value = 224

Input Arguments
