### Description

This block is compulsory to be placed in the xcos model to use this toolbox.

It defines the communication setting between the Arduino board and Xcos.

The port setting can be determined by running the Arduino application from the menu item "Tools / Serial Port". The port number can also be changed by going to computer's "Device Manager / Ports (Advanced options)".

Currently it is not possible to use multiple Arduino boards.

The toolbox can be used only on Windows for now.

Before using Arduino toolbox, it is necessary to upload the program "toolbox_arduino.ino" to the board, which is available at: http://www.demosciences.fr

### Dialog box

The communication port must be specified (between 2 and 9 or an error message would appear).

The card number Arduino must be equal to 1 now (or an error message would appear)

### Example 1

The example below shows the use of the block to blink the LED at port 13 of the UNO card set on the serial port 5. All blocks are using the default settings, except for the PULSE block from the source palette where the phase shift is changed to 0.
