Hi!
I'm having trouble sending data to a channel using MQTT. I'm using a program that was working perfectly until just a few days ago, but after making some minor changes yesterday, it stopped working. I’ve also tested it manually using the MQTTX client. If I send data using CURL and GET, it works fine.
It’s a bit strange...
Thankfully,
Ernesto.
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!
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 want to observe the time (Tmax) to reach maximum drug concentration (Cmax) in my model. I have set up the OBSERVABLES as follows (figure1): Cmax = max(Blood.lL15); Tmax_LT = time(Conc_lL15_LT_nm == max(Conc_lL15_LT_nm)); Tmax_Tm = time(Conc_lL15_Tumor_nm == max(Conc_lL15_Tumor_nm)); After running the Sobol indices program for global sensitivity analysis, with inputs being some parameters and their ranges, the output for Cmax works, but there are some prompts, as shown in figure2. Additionally, when outputting Tmax, the program does not run successfully and reports some errors, as shown in figure2. How can I resolve the errors when outputting Tmax?

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?

FFT

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?

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
