ANC300 MATLAB Controller

This repository provides a MATLAB class and GUI interface for controlling the ANC300 Piezo Controller via RS232 (or USB-serial) communication. It enables you to set frequencies and voltages, move individual axes, and configure operation modes directly from MATLAB.

📦 Features

• Set/get stepping frequency and voltage per axis
• Move piezo up/down in discrete steps
• Configure axis modes: gnd, cap, stp
• Stop motion command for any axis
• Compatible MATLAB GUI for manual control

🔧 Requirements

• ANC300 connected via RS232 or USB
• Correct COM port (check Device Manager under "Ports (COM & LPT)")
• MATLAB R2019b or later

📁 Class: ANC300.m

Initialization

controller = ANC300('COM3'); % Replace COM3 with actual port

Main Methods

Method	Description
set_frequency(Hz, axis)	Set stepping frequency in Hz
get_frequency(axis)	Get current frequency
set_voltage(V, axis)	Set voltage for given axis
get_voltage(axis)	Get current voltage
stepup(steps, axis)	Step piezo up
stepdown(steps, axis)	Step piezo down
stop(axis)	Stop movement
set_mode(mode, axis)	Set mode: gnd, cap, stp

💡 Example Usage

controller = ANC300('COM3');          % Connect to device
controller.set_frequency(500, 1);     % Set 500 Hz on axis 1
controller.stepup(100, 1);            % Move axis 1 up 100 steps
[~, voltage, ~] = controller.get_voltage(1);
disp(['Voltage on axis 1: ', voltage]);

🖥️ GUI: ANC300_GUI.mlapp

To Launch:

clear; clc;
app = ANC300_GUI('COM3');  % Launch with correct COM port

• Use dropdown to select mode (gnd, cap, stp)
• Set voltage and frequency, then press Update
• Use Step Up / Step Down buttons to move the piezo

Note: Place both ANC300.m and ANC300_GUI.mlapp in the same directory for proper functionality.
