Hi Guys,

I have a project to operate a radio-controlled car. I have basic knowledge in Matlab.

I understood that I have to use the Instrument Control Toolbox. Is that correct?

Can you please let me know how can I approach this project?

Hi Rabeeh,

The Instrument Control Toolbox provides connectivity over industry standard
interfaces such as TCPIP, UDP, GPIB, Serial and VISA. If the
radio-controlled car can communicate over one of these interfaces, it should
work. Sometimes other interfaces such as Bluetooth are presented as a
Serial port in the operating system. Depending upon the software stack
provided by the vendor, this can sometimes work in Instrument Control but is
not officially supported.

It is also possible to use the MATLAB interface for shared libraries to
interact directly with vendor supplied libraries.
