Well, I do know about Matlab central and have gone through quite a few 
tutorials and videos, but my real problem is that there is just too much 
of MATLAB. Too many tools and too many options... I was hoping someone 
could direct me through them and try to point out which to use for my 
specific purpose.

The latest idea is to use the Legacy code tool to insert input and 
output code into custom blocks/S-functions and then use RTW or the 
Embedded Coder to generate the actual code.

If the latest idea (also) fails, I will try, thanks. I have no idea why 
I didn't at least crosspost to the matlab newsgroup. Just gotten used to 
my regular newsgroups a bit too much, I guess. :)

Thanks,
RG

Look on Mathworks website -follow link to User Comminity which gets you to 
what they call Matlab Central. Do some searching. I had a very quick look 
and there is some stuff there which may help - you need to use the Generic 
Targtet C coder (the real name may be different - its years since I went on 
their training course and the people I was working for never bought the 
license !!!

I work on my own now and find it cheaper to write my own code.

You could try the matlab newsgroup.

Well, the entire university is on academic licences, so I really don't 
think we'll be getting any free training (except from our own 
in-university support center which doesn't do RTW). Especially since 
we're in what MathWorks probably considers a third-world country. :/

And, besides, if I'm not able to figure something like this for myself 
(with a few pointers, hopefully), then either something's amiss with my 
engineering skills or MATLAB's help.

So, any pointers, links, ...?

I'm sure you have a license for the $20k worth of software you are using 
here. Mathworks offer pretty good support including some free training for 
these products. Is there some special reason that they can't help you ?

Hi all,

I seem to be stuck with what seemed a very simple task. I want to 
convert a Simulink model with one input and one output to a C program 
that I could run on a microcontroller (any microcontroller, not only 
those TI chips on those development boards). It should be able to read 
some data from a ADC, do some processing (as defined by the model -- 
amplify/multiply by 2 is a fine starting point) and send the result to a 
DAC. I have no problem generating the "middle part", i.e. processing, 
but I have no idea how to interface to ADC and DAC. What I need are some 
"read_inputs()" and "write_outputs()" functions into which I could add 
my own code and those functions would be called automatically by the 
generated code when needed.
I was checking the C-API for Interfacing with Signals and Parameters and 
  External mode communication channels, but these don't seem to be able 
to do the job. I was also reading on the execution models and browsing 
the Embedded Coder documentation, but to no avail. So, is there a simple 
way to that? And is there some sort of a cookbook available?

Many thanks!
