Select System Object Template

Step 3 of 8 in Create Custom Device Driver Block for Arduino Library

System objects are used to define the behavior of device driver blocks. Follow these steps to create a customized System object™ by modifying the System object template.

1. In the MATLAB^® editor, open the template system object class file, Source.m.

2. Save a copy of the class file and rename it as colorSensor.m.

3. Open the colorSensor.m file and change the class name to colorSensor.

   classdef colorSensor < realtime.internal.SourceSampleTime ...
           & coder.ExternalDependency ...
           & matlab.system.mixin.Propagates ...
           & matlab.system.mixin.CustomIcon
       ...
   end

4. Change the name of the constructor method to colorSensor.

   methods
           % Constructor
           function obj = colorSensor(varargin)
               % Support name-value pair arguments when constructing the object.
               setProperties(obj,nargin,varargin{:});
           end
   end
   

   Note

   A MATLAB class requires the class name, constructor, and file to be identical.

5. Save the changes to colorSensor.m.

In the next section, you will Specify Initialization, Output, and Termination Behavior.
