Encounter this error when i tried to connect my arduino board with my matlab :Failed to open serial port COM3 to communicate with board Uno. Make sure there is no other MATLAB arduino object for this board. For troubleshooting, see Arduino Hardware Troubleshooting.
Can anyone solve this?

I got the same error message. Make sure there is no other object in the workspace. type 'clear' to clear the workspace and then try running the code.

yes, i finded a solution: first: clear a ('a' it´s a object to clear) second: if ~isempty(instrfind) fclose(instrfind); delete(instrfind); end If the port is open, close the port and delete the state

Hi Everyone,
I recently started the Arduino engineering kit and ran into this problem. It ended up being the driver. I never opened the Arduino IDE while connected to the Arduino33 Iot. Once this is done, the driver download is suggested. After I downloaded that I got the simulink model to run with default host-board connection settings, except the serial comms baudrate which is 9600 and external mode communication interface set to Serial.
Hope this helps

I am working on this Arduino kit R2 with arduino nano 33 IoT.
I am running the attached program on Simulink to the board but I get this error.
I followed the instruction given on the kit website (Engineering Kit! (arduino.cc) under designing a motor control system) using MATLAB version R2022b.
I have tried inputing the port manually under Simulink Configuration Parameters>Hardware Implementation>Host-board connection, yet I get the same problem.
Can I get some assistance?
