How to live plot multple sine waves from Arduino to MATLAB

2 views (last 30 days)
Hi,
I'm trying to plot multiple sine waves plots from an Arduino Mega to Matlab. I've managed to live plot one sine wave curve already from arduino to matlab. However, I'm a bit unsure on how to do muiltple, I think I'll need an array of some sort to store the data but needing some guidance.
MATLAB code:
delete(instrfindall);
clc;
serialPort = 'COM4';
plotTitle = 'Sine Wave';
xLabel = 'Time (s)';
yLabel = 'Data';
plotGrid = 'on';
min = -1.5;
max = 1.5;
delay = .01;
%Define Function Variables
time = 0;
data = 0;
count = 0;
%Set up Plot
plotGraph = plot(time,data,'-r');
title(plotTitle,'FontSize',18);
xlabel(xLabel,'FontSize',15);
ylabel(yLabel,'FontSize',15);
axis([0 10 min max]);
grid(plotGrid);
%Open Serial COM Port
s= serial(serialPort);
disp('Close Plot to clear data');
fopen(s);
% start stopwatch timer
tic
%Loop when Plot is Active
while time <=50
%Read Data from Serial as Float
dat = fscanf(s,'%f');
if(~isempty(dat) && isfloat(dat)) %Make sure Data Type is Correct
count = count + 1;
time(count) = toc; %stop the stopwatch and extract time
data(count) = dat(1); %Extract 1st Data Element
set(plotGraph,'XData',time,'YData',data);
axis([0 time(count) min max]);
drawnow;
end
%Allow MATLAB to Update Plot
pause(delay);
end
%Close Serial COM Port and Delete useless Variables
fclose(s);
clear count dat delay max min plotGraph plotGrid plotTitle s ...
scrollWidth serialPort xLabel yLabel;
