Hi all!

I have been using PIC18F4550 microcontroller to send sensors data through USB, from the microcontroller board to PC using Visual Basic 6.

Now I want to shift to Matlab for the reception of data. As I am novice in Matlab, can anyone tell me how to get this communication working. The main aim is to recieve data in form of bytes from pic to matlab using USB.

Thanks.

I don't know if the windows driver for 18F4550 supports virtual serial port. But like VB, MATLAB can get the data from the serial port. Look at the serial() function in the MATLAB help.

P.S. Since this topic is a request for help, it really belongs in the general forum, not in the code library.
