Installing MKRMotorCarrier and Arduino Libraries - failed Matlab Arduino package

Hi team,

I have recently got the Arduino Engineering kit and trying to get a drawing robot going. I managed to get the Arduino MKR1000 running with the Motor Carrier library in the Arduino software itself.

I tried to get the Matlab Arduino package after the main install of the software, and I get an error (log attached below).

Then I tried to run a = arduino; but the second error shows the board on the right COM port, but then gives out some other error.

Help Appreciated. Kind regards

Is this replacing https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/437746-invalid-add-on-library-value-mkrmotorcarrier ?

[Walter Roberson]

I find references to that file but only in connection to the esp8266 . One solution for that context is described at https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/1631

[pravin vaz]

That's right. This has replaced the other issue.

If I do 'listArduinoLibraries' the MKRMotorCarrier shows up, however, now

if I try ' a = arduino(); ' It just says updating server code on board MKR1000 ....

and then 'Cannot program board MKR1000(COM6), Please make sure the board is supported and the port and board type are correct. For more information,

see Arduino Hardware Troubleshooting.

Attempt reinstalling the MATLAB and Simulink Support Package for Arduino with MATLAB opened as administrator. You can right click on MATLAB icon and select this option in windows machines. If this does not resolve the issue, uninstall any other Arduino IDEs that you might have and attempt to download the support packages again.

[pravin vaz]

Hi Madhu, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I have still no luck after those suggestions. I am running Matlab as Admin, and uninstalled Arduino IDE. installed the support packages again.I still have the same error during package install.

However, I am wondering- the last line before the error message says

from C:\Users\prav.DESKTOP-1QH1UND\AppData\Local\Temp\ArduinoServer\MW\sketch\ArduinoServer.ino.cpp:1:
c:\programdata\matlab\supportpackages\r2018b_1\3p.instrset\arduinoide.instrset\idepkgs\packages\arduino\tools\arm-none-eabi-gcc\4.8.3-2014q1\arm-none-eabi\include\c++\4.8.3\arm-none-eabi\armv6-m\bits\c++config.h:429:30: fatal error: bits/cpu_defines.h: No such file or directory
 #include <bits/cpu_defines.h>
                              ^

And I tried going to the folder AppData to find thatt missing file, but the whole folder is empty.

Maybe it has something to do with missing data from the AppData folder?

[Madhu Govindarajan]

The reason I strongly believe this is an installation issue is - the file it reports missing is supposed to be located inside the install area as you can see in the c:\programdata\matlab\support....

Here is something to try, uninstall all the support packages then go to the folder (c:\programdata\matlab\supportpackages) outside of MATLAB and delete all the folders and install while you have admin status. This time also try and add arduino related executables to the safe list of your virus protection software.

If this also does not help, please create a technical support case with MathWorks (and explain what you have already tried) as I strongly suspect this is an installation issue with MATLAB Support package or Simulink support package for Arduino.

HTH,

Madhu

Hi Madhu,

I realised that windows had created a new profile for me after I used a registry cleaner which wiped out some important files. Since then, all my installs are still going in my original profile but I have been logged into the new profile. C:\Users\prav.DESKTOP-1QH1UND

So my profile usually just says prav, but as above its changed since I used the cleaner.

I am currently using Matlab r2018a on my Macbook and it works absolutely fine. I will most likely wipe clean my windows and do a clean install before trying again.

THanks so much for your help.

[Madhu Govindarajan]

Glad you now know how to fix the issues and have an alternate way of moving forward.

Madhu

[Jose Anaya]

Hello,

can anyone help me with this, I have a similar problem but with matlab version 2019a. I have done everything in mention in here and in other pages on how to figure it fix but no luck. I have follow and repeated the steps mention in the Arduino Engineering Kit very closely and still no luck. When trying to load the MKRMotorCarrier.h to the MKR1000 I get the following error message:

C:\Users\jmanu\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB Add-Ons\Toolboxes\Arduino_Engineering_Kit_Hardware_Support_19a(2)\matlab\MATLABAddon\+arduinoioaddons\+arduino\src\MKRMotorCarrierBase.h:11:29: fatal error: MKRMotorCarrier.h: No such file or directory

[Madhu Govindarajan]

Two thoughts that come to my mind:

1) The downloaded hardware support toolbox is getting overwritten several times (hence the (2) in your path). I would recommend doing a clean reinstall, meaning uninstall, delete all the related folders then reinstall.

2) Ensure that the instructions below which are on the file exchange submission as well, are followed correctly. Copy pasted below -

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) After installing this toolbox, type the following command in MATLAB to open the ReadMe

>> edit ArduinoKitHardwareSupportReadMe.txt

2) Be sure to follow the steps in this file, as it provides instructions on downloading the Arduino library for the MKR Motor Carrier. This library is required for some of the functionality to work.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Dexter Smith]

Hi,

This was frustrating to me also. The Arduino 2560 worked great, the MKR motor carrier had this problem.

The readme.txt file helps but did not match my windows 10 setup at all. The key is

5) Move the MKRMotorCarrier folder into the "libraries" folder inside your Arduino sketchbook folder On Windows, the default path is "arduinoio.IDERoot\portable\sketchbook\libraries\" Note: arduinoio.IDERoot is a MATLAB command.

Use this MATLAB command to find where the libraries are.

arduinoio.IDERoot ans = 'C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2019b\3P.instrset\arduinoide.instrset'

Following the readme.txt file beginning I then moved the unzipped MKRMotorCarrier folder here and everything worked great - C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2019b\3P.instrset\arduinoide.instrset\libraries\MKRMotorCarrier

[Nicola Cesari]

Hi

I'm a newbie in using arduino engineering kit. I have almost the same problem but I managed to setup the libraries, in fact if I assign an arduino project I obtain:

 arduino with properties:

                  Port: 'COM6'
                 Board: 'MKR1000'
         AvailablePins: {'D0-D14', 'A0-A6'}
  AvailableDigitalPins: {'D0-D14', 'A0-A6'}
      AvailablePWMPins: {'D0-D8', 'D10', 'A3-A4'}
   AvailableAnalogPins: {'A0-A6'}
    AvailableI2CBusIDs: [0]
AvailableSerialPortIDs: [1]
             Libraries: {'I2C', 'MKRMotorCarrier', 'RotaryEncoder', 'SPI', 'Servo'}
Show all properties

But if I try to add-on library, this error appear, even if I have 'MKRMotorCarrier' in 'listArduinoLibraries':

carrier = addon(a, 'MKRMotorCarrier')

No add-on library uploaded to the board. Clear and recreate the current arduino object to include the appropriate library. For a list of available libraries, type 'listArduinoLibraries'.

Hope I managed to explain clearely

Thanks in advance

[YGe YG]

你需要先将库上传到板子上。

[YGe YG]

但我已上传并显示成功，可仍报No add-on library uploaded to the board。。。， 如何办？
