create a buffer for serial data in matlab

To create a buffer for serial data in Matlab, you can use the Serial object and its BytesAvailableFcn callback function. The BytesAvailableFcn function is called whenever new data is available in the serial port buffer.

main.m
% Set up the serial object
s = serial('COM1');
s.BaudRate = 9600;
s.BytesAvailableFcnMode = 'byte';
s.BytesAvailableFcnCount = 100;
s.BytesAvailableFcn = @readSerialData;

% Open the serial port
fopen(s);

% Define the callback function to read incoming serial data
function readSerialData(obj,event)
    % Read the available bytes from the serial buffer
    data = fread(obj,obj.BytesAvailable);
    
    % Process the data here
end

In the above code, we define a Serial object for the COM1 port, set the baud rate to 9600, and configure the BytesAvailableFcn callback to be called when 100 bytes of data are available in the buffer. We also specify the callback function readSerialData that will process the incoming data.

In the readSerialData function, we read all the bytes available in the serial buffer using the fread function and store them in the data variable. Here you can add your own logic to process and handle the serial data as needed.
