I want to create a simulation in Xcos (part of Scilab) representing the real Arduino Uno system. That means changing its input values during the simulation based on output. The problem is that I need to find the way how to handle strings as input and output. How is this possible?
The solution that comes to my mind is to somehow use Atoms Serial Communication Toolbox functions like writeserial() and readserial() in my Xcos scheme. But I do not have any idea if this is even possible. Any idea?
I managed to use those functions in my Xcos scheme by putting them into Scilab function block (scifunc_block_m) and then parsing them to get the correct output. And it seems that for handling strings in Xcos for input/output it is possible to convert string to
ascii()and work with that.
