readAngularVelocity

Read one angular velocity data sample from BMI160 sensor

Since R2023a

Description

[gyroReadings,timestamp] = readAngularVelocity(sensor) returns one sample of the angular velocity data from the BMI160 IMU sensor. The angular velocity sample is returned as a 3-by-1 vector in rad/s along the X, Y, and Z axes. The function also returns the timestamp at which MATLAB® receives the angular velocity data from the BMI160 sensor. The timestamp output is optional.

Read the angular velocity data from the BMI160 IMU sensor on the X, Y, and Z axes.

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

mypi = raspi;
mypi =

Create an bmi160 sensor object on the I2C bus 'i2c-1' on addresses '0x69' and '0x0C'.

sensor = bmi160(mypi,'Bus','i2c-1','I2CAddress',{'0x69','0x0C'});
sensor = 

  bmi160 with properties:

                         I2CAddress: 105 ("0x69")
                                   : 12 ("0xC")
                                Bus: i2c-1 

Return one sample of angular velocity data read from the BMI160 sensor on the X, Y, and Z axes.

[gyroReadings,timestamp] = readAngularVelocity(sensor);
gyroReadings =

timestamp = 

  datetime

   19-Dec-2020 18:15:01.801

Since the timestamp output is optional, you can obtain only the angular velocity data from the BMI160 sensor.

[gyroReadings] = readAngularVelocity(sensor);
gyroReadings =
