Installing Arduino sensor library to Matlab

Hello, I want to install an Arduino library for Pololu VL53L1X to Matlab (library source here: https://github.com/pololu/vl53l1x-arduino), I tried following this example and changed

   a = arduino('COM4','Uno','Libraries','Adafruit\MotorShieldV2')

to

   a = arduino('COM9','Uno','libraries','VL53L1X')

The directory for the library on my computer is C:\Users\hp\Documents\<name>\Arduino\libraries\VL53L1X, so I assumed I just have to add the VL53L1X part but I'm getting this error:

Expected libraries to match one of these values:

'APDS9960', 'Adafruit/MotorShieldV2', 'CAN', 'I2C', 'MotorCarrier', 'RotaryEncoder', 'SPI', 'Serial', 'Servo',
'ShiftRegister', 'Ultrasonic'

The input, 'VL53L1X', did not match any of the valid values.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a way of including Arduino libraries to Matlab by referring to Arduino library directory?

Hi Akkaya

For libraries not directly supported by MATLAB Arduino. You can use the "Custom Arduino library" feature to integrate the VL53L1X library with MATLAB Arduino.

Here is the documentation that describes integration of Custom librares. With this feature you can integratem the driver of VL53L1X.

Thanks,

Amit

Hi Akkaya,

You can not use the Arduino Libraries directly in MATLAB.

For the list of supported Arduino Libraries in MATLAB, please refer the following documentation.
