Ble and blelist functions cannot be found

Hi!

I am trying to connect a BLE (Bluetooth low energy) device to matlab, and extract the data out of it. I found the function "ble" and "blelist" and tried to use them, just to see if Matlab even can detect the BLE device that I have connected my computer to. Even though I have downloaded the "Communication Toolbox Library for the Bluetooth Protocol", these two functions are unknown and couldn't be found by Matlab. I am not sure which toolbox includes these two functions?

I have Matlab 2019a, and my windows is Windows 10.

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,

Natalija

Hi Natalija,

The functions ble and blelist functions comes with support for Bluetooth Low Energy Communication with MATLAB from R2019b release (Look in R2019b note points).

Note that these are different from the support of bluetooth communications from Instrument Control Toolbox and bluetooth standard waveforms from Communications Toolbox Library for the Bluetooth Protocol.

To get these functions to work, install the MATLAB version R2019b and above. Also note that the supported platforms for this are

• macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later
• Windows® 10, version 1709 or later

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Sriram
