Description: 
 This toolbox provides Arduino communication blocks for Xcos.
 
 Communication is performed through Serial port.
 
 The Arduino board must be flashed with the file toolbox_arduino_v4.ino
 (shipped in the module and downloadable from the ATOMS page).

  BUGS FIXED
  * Fixed Scilab 6 compatibility issues
  * Change the serial to Scilab from char to double to solved ascii issues.
  * Fixed port >9 not supported issue
  
  NEW FEATURES
