Help with reading/writing an Android to Matlab G-Force program (Android Sensors)

4 views (last 30 days)
Hello, I am currently working on a uni project but I am having a bit of a problem. I am looking for just a x co-ordinate rotational acceleration vs time and angular velocity (on the x axis, not yaw) program. I have created a drone that rotates and I want to receive the data back to matlab. Here's what I have so far. Any tips are great. For some reason the time frames that appear on the graph go to 200 (s) when I pause for 15 s.
connector on yourpassword;
m = mobiledev;
m.AccelerationSensorEnabled = 1;
m.AngularVelocitySensorEnabled = 1;
m.Logging = 1;
pause (10)
m.Logging = 0;
[a, t] = accellog(m);
x = a(:,1);
y = a(:,2);
z = a(:,3);
%plot(t, av);
% Calculate and plot magnitude acceleration
mag = sqrt(sum(x.^2 + y.^2 + z.^2, 2));
figure
plot(t, mag);
xlabel('Time (s)');
ylabel('Acceleration (m/s^2)');
disp (mag)

Hi Anthony,
This might be happening due to the fact that when using "accelog", MATLAB will give you data from all logs after it established a connection, and not just the last run. To start fresh each time you run a script, you can use the following command:
discardlogs(m);
Hope this helps!
