mobiledev

Create mobiledev object to acquire data from iOS sensors

Syntax

m = mobiledev

Description

m = mobiledev creates an object m that reads sensor data from an iOS device running MATLAB^® Mobile™ that is connected to the same network as a computer running MATLAB. The object can read data from five types of sensors: acceleration, angular velocity, orientation, magnetic field, and position.

Create mobiledev Object Before Starting Sensors

This example assumes that you have already installed and set up MATLAB Mobile on your iOS device and connected it to your computer running MATLAB. For information about these steps, see Connect to the MathWorks Cloud (MATLAB Mobile for iOS).

Start MATLAB Mobile on your iOS device.

On the Sensors screen, tap the sensors that you want to send data from.

Place the device where you want to get the sensor data.

In MATLAB on your computer, create a mobiledev object, m.

m = mobiledev

mobiledev with properties:

                   Connected: 1
           Available Cameras: {'back' 'front'}
                     Logging: 0
            InitialTimestamp: ''

   AccelerationSensorEnabled: 1
AngularVelocitySensorEnabled: 1
       MagneticSensorEnabled: 1
    OrientationSensorEnabled: 1
       PositionSensorEnabled: 1

Supported functions

In the display that is shown when you create the object, a value of 1 means enabled or on, and 0 means not enabled or off. The device and computer are connected, but data is not being sent (logged) yet.

To begin logging data, enable the Logging property.
