Ball Tracking Example

Learn how to control a basic Robotic System using a Desktop Computer, a Kinect and an Arduino.

You are now following this Submission

Three examples are provided, showing how to use MATLAB and Simulink to control the robotic system. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. The first example uses MATLAB to manage the robotic system without any code generation. The second and third examples show how to generate an executable out of a MATLAB function and Simulink model.
After running the .mltbx file to install, see the "Supplemental Software" section of the main doc page. There will be link to the "Ball Tracking Example" documentation.
