Can I use an Adafruit GPS Shield with an Arduino on the Matlab and Simulink Support packages?

I have an Arduino UNO and I have an Adafruit GPS Shield. I am trying to use the GPS Shield from Matlab using the Matlab Support Package for Arduino. Since Adafruit always have libraries for their products, I was wondering how I am supposed to install the Library for the shield as the Support Package only allows the Adafruit/MotorControlV2 Library. Any answer or suggestion would be appreciated. Regards, Ahmed

Adafruit GPS shield is not a supported hardware as you can see on the link below: http://www.mathworks.com/hardware-support/arduino-matlab.html

This means that MathWorks will not test the compatibility with this hardware. However, if you were able to detect the device, then you can create custom add-on libraries to use with your Arduino device and attached hardware shields. Refer to the documentation link below:

Hello,

There is an application example to Read Serial Data from a GPS Shield Using Arduino Hardware for Simulink available from R2018a:

Hope this helps!

Hello Maitreyee I Used this example (Read Serial Data from a GPS Shield Using Arduino Hardware)in R2018a but does not work. Can you help me to solve this problem ..... I got this massage Build process completed successfully Error occurred while executing External Mode MEX-file 'ext_comm': ExtTargetPktPending() call failed while checking for target pkt Component:Simulink | Category:Block diagram error Error occurred while executing External Mode MEX-file 'ext_comm': ExtSetTargetPkt() call failed on CLOSE.
