Abstract-In this paper, we present a Matlab and Simulink based software platform that enables the use of inexpensive microcontrollers for data acquisition and control tasks. The proposed framework is well suited for data acquisition and control tasks that require graphical user interface (GUI) and/or advanced computational capabilities but do not require stringent hardware performance. We illustrate the efficacy of our data acquisition and control technique by performing position control of a DC motor using a Basic Stamp 2 (BS2) microcontroller and our Matlab data acquisition and control toolbox
