Can anyone convert the following arduino code into a matlab code?
// Pin definitions
const int knockSensor = 0; // Piezo sensor on pin 0.

const int lockMotor = 3; // Gear motor used to turn the lock.
const int redLED = 4; // Status LED
const int greenLED = 5; // Status LED
// Tuning constants. Could be made vars and hoooked to potentiometers for soft configuration, etc.
const int threshold = 3; // Minimum signal from the piezo to register as a knock
const int rejectValue = 25; // If an individual knock is off by this percentage of a knock we don't unlock..
const int averageRejectValue = 15; // If the average timing of the knocks is off by this percent we don't unlock.
const int knockFadeTime = 150; // milliseconds we allow a knock to fade before we listen for another one. (Debounce timer.)
const int lockTurnTime = 650; // milliseconds that we run the motor to get it to go a half turn.
const int maximumKnocks = 20; // Maximum number of knocks to listen for.

// Variables.

Hi
Arduino code cannot be directly converted to matlab code. However you can use the following documentation "Getting Started with MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware" to get started. You may find this link useful to install MATLAB arduino support package.

Do you know how to read the digital pin and put that in a series of reading? I'm new to matlab and trying to figure out my code for my project. It's like a secret knock door which opens when a specific knock is performed. I'm using a piezoelectric sensor.
