Syntax

[magReadings,timestamp] = readMagneticField(sensor)

Description

[magReadings,timestamp] = readMagneticField(sensor) returns one sample of the magnetic field data from the LSM9DS1 IMU sensor. The magnetic field sample is returned as a 3-by-1 vector in μT (microtesla) along the X, Y, and Z axes. The function also returns the timestamp at which MATLAB® receives the magnetic field data from the LSM9DS1 sensor. The timestamp output is optional.

Read the magnetic field data from the LSM9DS1 IMU sensor on the X, Y, and Z axes.

Create a connection from MATLAB to the Raspberry Pi® hardware board.

mypi = raspi;
mypi = 

  Raspi with Properties:

           DeviceAddress: 'raspberrypi-hysdu8X38o'
                    Port: 18734
               BoardName: 'Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+'
           AvailableLEDs: {'led0'}
    AvailableDigitalPins: [4,5,6,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27]
    AvailableSPIChannels: {‘CE0’,’CE1’}

        AvailabelWebCams: mmal service 16.1 (platform:bcm2835-v4l2)

Create an lsm9ds1 sensor object on the I2C bus 'i2c-1' on addresses '0x6A' and '0x1C'.

sensor = lsm9ds1(r,'Bus','i2c-1','I2CAddress',{'0x6A','0x1C'});
sensor = 

  lsm9ds1 with properties:

                         I2CAddress: 106 ("0x6A")
                                   : 28 ("0x1C")
                                Bus: i2c-1

Return one sample of magnetic field data read from the LSM9DS1 sensor on the X, Y, and Z axes.

[magReadings,timestamp] = readMagneticField(sensor);
magReadings =

  data

    9.1980    7.0980  -52.9480


timestamp = 

  datetime

   9-Dec-2020 16:13:28.573

Since the timestamp output is optional, you can obtain only the magnetic field data from the LSM9DS1 sensor.

[magReadings] = readMagneticField(sensor);
magReadings =

  data

    9.1980    7.0980  -52.9480

Input Arguments
