In order to introduce robotics and cyber-physicalsystems earlier in the curriculum, we have developed an interface to allow students to remotelycontrol a wireless microcontroller (e.g., Arduino MKR 1010) using MATLAB. This interfacecomprises two halves: 1) a MATLAB class that abstracts UDP commands transmitted over Wi-Fi, and 2) a custom C++ library for receiving, parsing, and responding to commands over UDP,as well as streaming data back to the client. The interface leverages students’ existing knowledgeof MATLAB and bypasses the need for C programming, allowing students to get early exposureto hardware-software

SDR’s use ofprogrammable software frameworks and general-purpose hardware lowers the barrier-to-entryfor students to model, implement, debug, and verify real-world communication systems. As withany example of PBL, when using SDR to meet intended learning goals it is important to give dueconsideration to key subject design characteristics such as project complexity and open-endedness.The subject reported in this paper exists as an opportunity for students to integrate priorknowledge from overlapping areas in communication systems, signal processing, and embeddedsystems.
