description The monitoring of volcanic activity is a major concern in those countries with high degree of seismicity. The main drawback is the high cost of instrumentation required to monitor the behavior of volcanoes, which limits access to updated information that allows carrying out prevention activities. This work presents the implementation of the acquisition of two variables associated to volcanic monitoring, using an Arduino and the Simulink tool of Matlab.A tilt or movement meter was implemented, which allows measuring the deformations of the volcanic building and the possible jolts that could exist of its cone, among other applications. In the same way, a temperature meter with a heater-resistance PT100 was also implemented. The experimentation allowed verifying the functionality of both, the inclination and temperature meters, throwing satisfactory results and with adequate relative errors. This allows concluding that the use of Simulink for the programming of the Arduino allows both the simulation and evaluation of the models, directly on the Arduino board during the design process, with the advantages offered by this alternative in saving time and simplicity in the device programming.

El principal inconveniente es el alto costo de la instrumentación requerida para vigilar el comportamiento de los volcanes, lo cual limita el acceso a información actualizada que permita realizar actividades de prevención. En este trabajo se presenta la implementación de la adquisición de dos variables asociadas al monitoreo volcánico, usando un Arduino y la herramienta Simulink de Matlab. Se implementó un medidor de inclinación o movimiento, que permite medir las deformaciones del edificio volcánico y las posibles sacudidas que pudieran existir de su cono, entre otras aplicaciones. Igualmente se implementó un medidor de temperatura con una termoresistencia PT100. La experimentación permitió comprobar la funcionalidad de los medidores de inclinación y temperatura, arrojando resultados satisfactorios y con errores relativos adecuados. Lo anterior permite concluir que el empleo de Simulink para la programación del Arduino posibilita la simulación y evaluación de los modelos, directamente sobre la placa de Arduino durante el proceso de diseño, con las ventajas que brinda esta alternativa en el ahorro de tiempo y simplicidad en la programación del dispositivo.
