collapse all in page

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

Syntax

writeRegister(dev,register,dataIn)
writeRegister(dev,register,dataIn,precision)

Description

writeRegister(dev,register,dataIn) writes data to the I2C device register.

example

writeRegister(dev,register,dataIn,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');

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

writeRegister(dev,20,10);

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','0x55');

Write value 10 to the I2C device register at address 20 with the precision of uint16.

writeRegister(dev,20,10,'uint16');

Input Arguments

collapse all

I2C device connection, specified as a device object.

Address of the I2C device register, specified as a scalar integer from 0 through 255, hexadecimal, or binary.

Data to write, specified as a scalar, vector, hexadecimal, or binary. The range of the values in the array is based on the precision.

Data precision, specified as one of the following character vectors:

  • 'uint8'

  • 'int8'

  • 'uint16'

  • 'int16'

  • 'uint32'

  • 'int32'

  • 'uint64'

  • 'int64'

Data can be also be specified in the following formats:

  • hexadecimal

  • binary

  • char

  • string

Code Generation Using MATLAB Function Block

  • Use writeRegister in a MATLAB® Function block with the Simulink® Support Package for Arduino® Hardware to generate code that can be deployed on Arduino Hardware.

  • Values of dataIn is not validated against the precision. The dataIn values will be saturated when it goes beyond the range of the specified precision.

Version History

Introduced in R2014b
