Problem connecting to Arduino Nano 3.0

I am trying to use an Arduino Nano 3.0 with MATLAB. I get the following error from trace:

         System wide configuration file is

avrdude done.  Thank you.

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

I can however, use the Arduino IDE to upload code and get serial info. Note that the Nano is probably a clone and shows as FTDI USB Serial in the COM port.

Ok so I solved this in a weird way. Instead of specifying that the board is a Nano, I specified the board as a Pro Mini 328.

[Jason Wang]

Where can you find that option?

[Swapnil Sayan Saha]

a = arduino('COM5', 'ProMini328_5V', 'Libraries', 'I2C'); %check device port from device manager

[Jiayue Liang]

Thank you! I met the same problem. It really help me out!

[Cong Dong Ngoc Minh]

It was really help and worked properly.

Thank you so much Swapnil Sayan Saha!

@Jason Wang

Run

arduinosetup

In "choose board" select 'ProMini328_5V'. Then complete the setup.

You can now define the arduino object as:

myboard = arduino('COM3', 'ProMini328_5v');% choose the right COM port

It looks strange, but it works for me also. Thanks!

[Anchit Bhushan]

Thanks Swapnil, worked for me too

[Dave]

Many thanks.....worked for me :O)

[chheang]

that's work me (ProMini328_5V)

[Aravind]

thank you it works

[Wildan Surya]

can u use it normaly for your project?
