Abstract
This chapter describes the steps to get started with the Scilab XCOS package for the Arduino. One of the popular methods to control the Arduino with Scilab is with the help of the Arduino_1.1 package. In this method there is no need to write a program to receive commands from Scilab, instead a predefined package is installed in the Arduino and then with the help of XCOS scilab GUI is created. XCOS is a package from Scilab which is used for modelling and simulation of the system. It is an open source Simulink and helpful to create Simulink models. XCOS is a graphical editor to design a hybrid systems model. Models can be designed, loaded, saved, compiled and simulated.
Keywords: Arduino_1.1 package, Scilab.
