Sending data from my Arduino Uno and its sensor via wireless communications to Matlab for further processing?

Hi,

I am currently using an Arduino Uno within MATLAB and want to now send the data via wireless communications. Currenty I am using an ultrasonic sensor and plot the collected data fine with no issues, however it is required to be plugged in.

Which is the best way to go about sending the data from the Arduino to MATLAB using things such as wifi or bluetooth (like a HC05)?

If anyone has done something similar to this before it would be a great help if you could advise as I am currently struggling where to start.

Hi

Establishing wireless communication via Bluetooth or WIFI depends upon your requirement. If the communication is over a short range, then Bluetooth would be more helpful. WIFI is fast and secure than Bluetooth. Moreover, you need an extra module for wireless communication.

Setup tips can be found from MATLAB documentation.
