Is it possible to create a Simulink model that is independent of specific microcontrollers?
For example, in the model, the STM32 block is used for CAN transmission. But if I want to deploy the same model to an Arduino, I have to replace the STM32 block with an Arduino-compatible one.
So, is it possible to create a custom block or abstraction that works across multiple microcontrollers like STM32, PIC32, and Arduino without changing the hardware-specific block each time?
Hello,
I've successfully tested the Processor-in-the-Loop (PIL) workflow in Simulink using a TI F28069M LaunchPad, following the standard examples provided by MathWorks. The PIL block, code generation, and communication all worked without issues.
Now, I’d like to run a similar PIL setup using the Infineon TLE9879 EVALKIT (based on an ARM Cortex-M0), which is not officially supported by Simulink as a target.
I’m wondering if it’s possible to configure PIL manually or via custom workflows. For example:
- Can I create a custom PIL target using Embedded Coder?
- Would I need to port rtiostream manually for communication over UART?
- Could I somehow integrate with Keil µVision (which I use for TLE9879) to build and run the generated code?
- Is there a workaround to simulate PIL behavior using a non-supported board?
My setup:
- Simulink R2024b
- Infineon TLE9879 EVALKIT
- Keil µVision 5 + Infineon Config Wizard
- UART and JTAG interfaces available
The main purpose is to validate control algorithms and measure execution time, not to implement a full HIL system.
Has anyone attempted PIL with a custom or unsupported microcontroller before? Any tips or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
Please check out our new book "Generative AI for Trading and Asset Management".
GenAI is usually associated with large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, or with image generation tools like MidJourney, essentially, machines that can learn from text or images and generate text or images. But in reality, these models can learn from many different types of data. In particular, they can learn from time series of asset returns, which is perhaps the most relevant for asset managers.
In our book (amazon.com link), we explore both the practical applications and the fundamental principles of GenAI, with a special focus on how these technologies apply to trading and asset management.
The book is divided into two broad parts:
Part 1 is written by Ernie Chan, noted author of Quantitative Trading, Algorithmic Trading, and Machine Trading. It starts with no-code applications of GenAI for traders and asset managers with little or no coding experience. After that, it takes readers on a whirlwind tour of machine learning techniques commonly used in finance.
Part 2, written by Hamlet, covers the fundamentals and technical details of GenAI, from modeling to efficient inference. This part is for those who want to understand the inner workings of these models and how to adapt them to their own custom data and applications. It’s for anyone who wants to go beyond the high-level use cases, get their hands dirty, and apply, and eventually improve these models in real-world practical applications.
Readers can start with whichever part they want to explore and learn from.
Sto tentando inutilmente di salvare il valore dell'enegia che consumo ogni giorno nel field5 di questo canale: https://thingspeak.mathworks.com/channels/2851490 , ma inutilemte in quanto vengono visualizzati sempre e solo 2 dati anche se ho impostato days=30. Ho provato ad aumentare a 365 ma senza variazioni. Come mai?
I am deeply honored to announce the official publication of my latest academic volume:

I want to use Simulink for model-based development of the TC3XX series development board, but I am not sure about the development process and toolchain? Is there a free toolchain available for me to use? Do you have a detailed development tutorial?
I have a pressure vs. time plot resulting from the input of an elastic wave, which I obtained from an Abaqus simulation. So, I have access to all the data. Now, I want to convert this time-domain graph into a frequency-domain graph using FFT in MATLAB.
I came across a code through ChatGPT, but I’m not fully confident in relying on it. Could anyone kindly clarify whether the formulas used for FFT in MATLAB are universal for all types of signals? Or is there a more effective and reliable method I should consider for this purpose?
Hi guys!
Im doing a project where i need to simulate a ship connected to the grid. I have a grid->converter AC-DC-AC -> dynamic load. My converter has to keep the voltage consistent and what changes is the current. Can somebody help me?
I am pleased to announce the 6th Edition of my book MATLAB Recipes for Earth Sciences with Springer Nature
also in the MathWorks Book Program
It is now almost exactly 20 years since I signed the contract with Springer for the first edition of the book. Since then, the book has grown from 237 to 576 pages, with many new chapters added. I would like to thank my colleagues Norbert Marwan and Robin Gebbers, who have each contributed two sections to Chapters 5, 7 and 9.
And of course, my thanks go to the excellent team at the MathWorks Book Program and the numerous other MathWorks experts who have helped and advised me during the last 30+ years working with MATLAB. And of course, thank you Springer for 20 years of support.
This book introduces methods of data analysis in the earth sciences using MATLAB, such as basic statistics for univariate, bivariate, and multivariate data sets, time series analysis, signal processing, spatial and directional data analysis, and image analysis.

Hello ThingSpeak Community,
I have an energy meter sending data of energy consumed in 4 rooms in hexadecimal values to Sigfox and I was trying to decode the payload and route it to ThingSpeak.
All the datas are sent at the same time.
But ThingSpeak only receives 1 of them and plots them.
However, the rest 3 are missing. Is this because I am trying the free version ?
Would the payed version be capable of receiving all the 4 messages ?

Need code to collect data of waterflow sensor using ESP 8266 and to stoe it in ThingSpeak cloud
Ciao a Tutti,qualche mese fa avevo costruito una stazione meteo con un esp32 e vari sensori.
Tutto funzionava, adesso però ho riprovato, e non funziona più. Ho provato a creare un canale nuovo con nuovo ID canale, nuovo ID Client, nuovo Utente (uguale al Client) e nuova Password. si connette (ho inserito un comando se connesso a MQTT scrivi.....) ma non publica i dati.
Non reisco a saltarne fuori, ècambiato qualche cosa?
grazie a tutti
Hello,
could it be that there is currently is a stability problem with the MQTT-Broker? I can establisth a connection successfully using the MQTTX client (web and win64 installation). I tried all possible ports an connection types. It disconnects all the time after a few seconds of establishing a connection successfully. So it was not possible to subscribe any item. I do not think the problem is in my side... By the way, protocol verision 3.1.1 ist supported, 5.0 not, am I right?
Maybe you could give me a hint,
Best regards,
Manfred
