- Set up the hardware:
- Connect your Arduino board to your computer.
- Make sure your Arduino board has a Bluetooth module that supports BLE communication (e.g., HM-10 or HM-11).
- Install the required libraries for Arduino BLE communication (e.g., ArduinoBLE library).
- Create a Simulink model:
- Launch Simulink and create a new model.
- Add the necessary blocks for Bluetooth communication.
- Configure the blocks to establish a BLE connection with your heart rate strap.
- Set up the characteristics and services to enable notifications from the heart rate strap.
- Implement the notify flag:
- Add a logic block in Simulink that sets the notify flag based on your desired conditions.
- Connect the output of the logic block to the Bluetooth block responsible for sending notifications.
- Configure and run the Simulink model:
- Configure the Bluetooth blocks with the appropriate settings, such as the heart rate strap's device name or MAC address.
- Configure the communication parameters for your specific heart rate strap (e.g., UUIDs for characteristics and services).
- Connect your Arduino board to your computer and upload the Simulink model to it.
- Run the Simulink model, which will start the BLE connection and send notifications based on the notify flag.
