Is it possible to toggle a manual switch via pressing a keyboard button in a running Simulink environment?

Hi TZEEEE,

If you are looking to control the 'Manual Switch' via keyboard, I am afraid it is not possible by pressing a simple keyboard button. The closest you get could get to it is by using a 'Switch' block like below.

Now, while this model is running (Lets say Stop Time = inf), on the command line you will have to enter the following commands:

ctrl = 1         % or ctrl = 0
set_param(gcs,'SimulationCommand','Update')

Once, the Simulink Model is updated the new value for the variable 'ctrl' used in the ControlValue constant block takes its effect.

Note that you could also update the model using keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+D".

Thanks, Abhishek
