Red Pitaya is not connecting to MATLAB

I am trying to connect my Red Pitaya to the online version of MATLAB (matlab.mathworks.com). I am using the following code below:

%% Define Red Pitaya as TCP/IP object

IP= '169.254.222.68';           % Input IP of your Red Pitaya...
port = 5000;
tcpipObj=tcpip(IP, port);

%% Open connection with your Red Pitaya

fopen(tcpipObj);
tcpipObj.Terminator = 'CR/LF';

%% Send SCPI command to Red Pitaya to turn ON LED1

fprintf(tcpipObj,'DIG:PIN LED1,1');

pause(5)                         % Set time of LED ON

%% Send SCPI command to Red Pitaya to turn OFF LED1

fprintf(tcpipObj,'DIG:PIN LED1,0');

%% Close connection with Red Pitaya

fclose(tcpipObj);

I get this following error:

Error using icinterface/fopen (line 83) 
Unsuccessful open: Connection timed out (Connection timed out)

I am able to connect to the red pitaya browser interface but I am not able to connect my Red Pitaya Board to MATLAB.

Hi Nathan,

I understand that you are encountering an error while trying to connect Red Pitaya board to the online version of MATLAB.

The error message indicates a failure to establish a connection between MATLAB and Red Pitaya board. A workaround to resolve this error is to start the “SCPI server” on Red Pitaya board before running the MATLAB script.

Please refer to the following link which may help you to start the “SCPI server” :

Hope this resolves your query,
