How can read back an arduino analog input ?

Hello everyone, to be honest i am new for using Simulink and i want to know how could i read back the analog input for arduino because i want to use it to determine the position of my actuator. Thank you very much.

You have to learn how to use serial communication on the arduino and matlab, than you can pass serial data from matlab to arduino and vice versa. Thats atleast one way in which you can do it.

thanks for your reply, do you mean by using serial transmit and receive in simulink support package for arduino block?

i am interested with this problem and im also new to simulink. right now i think that i am in the same case to monitor the movement of the actuator potentiometer feedback which its wiper go to analog input on arduino support package block, how could i monitor the value of my feedback and how could i make a conditioning (if else for example) after i know the value of my feedback? thanks

http://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/ug/configure-serial-communications.html This should help you to get started. If i were you i would first be sure to know how to serial communicate with arduino then switch to communicating it with simulink. There are many guides online on how to configure the communication.
