Simulink Coder Support Package for ARM Cortex-based VEX Microcontroller / Actuators

Description

Add-On Required: This feature requires the Simulink Coder Support Package for ARM Cortex-based VEX Microcontroller add-on.

The Digital Output block is used to represent one of the 12 digital IO pins on an ARM® Cortex®-based VEX® Microcontroller as a digital output. The block sets the digital/logical value (1 or 0) of the pin. For information on the pin layout of the microcontroller, see the VEX Cortex Pin-Out diagram from VEX Robotics.

Ports

Input

expand all

Connect the input port to a block that generates a logical value (1 or 0).

Data Types: Boolean

Output

expand all

Connect an appropriate sink block from the Utilities library in Simulink® Support Package for ARM Cortex-based VEX Microcontroller to the output port to view the simulation output.

During simulations, this block emits zeros if no block is connected the input port (see Block Produces Zeros or Does Nothing in Simulation).

Dependencies

This port appears only when you select the Add output port for simulation parameter.

Data Types: Boolean

Parameters

expand all

You can select one of the 12 digital IO pins on the VEX Microcontroller to act as digital output.

Do not assign the same pin number to multiple blocks in your model.

Select this check box to add an output port that simulates the logical output of the block.

Programmatic Use: Add Block

To add the block programmatically, use the add_block function with one of these library block paths as the source.

"vexarmcortexlib/Actuators/Digital Output"

Example: add_block("vexarmcortexlib/Actuators/Digital Output","myModel/myBlock",MakeNameUnique="on")
