Through an interactive communication with an Arduino board, you can expand MATLAB's capabilities, while also gaining access to a wide range of math, engineering and plotting functions. Check out the capabilities of MATLAB® over on the [MathWorks website](https://www.mathworks.com/solutions.html#capabilities).

By referencing the COM port, you can create a two-way data link between your computer and the Arduino device. For a device connected on a network, we can use an Internet Protocol (IP) address to identify it. In the IPv4 standard, this is written as a series of four numbers such as `192.168.1.100`. By default, most routers are configured to assign a dynamic address via a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This means less configuration, but at the cost of the IP address changing. In order to reliably address your Arduino board, you may wish to utilise a static IP address. Once a static IP address is assigned, it will stay the same. @@ -119,7 +119,7 @@ end ## Control LED over Wi-Fi with MATLAB -**1.** Firstly, make sure your Arduino board is connected via the USB cable.
