List available Arduino hardware

Since R2024a

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

Syntax

hwtable = arduinolist

hwtable = arduinolist(Timeout=tlimit)

Description

hwtable = arduinolist returns a table of Arduino^® boards connected via USB.

hwtable = arduinolist(Timeout=tlimit) limits the time to wait for hardware queries to tlimit seconds. The default Timeout value is 20 seconds.
