Syntax

[tempReading,timestamp] = readTemperature(sensor)

Description

[tempReading,timestamp] = readTemperature(sensor) returns one sample of the ambient temperature data from the BMI160 sensor. The ambient temperature sample is returned as a scalar in degree Celsius. The function also returns the timestamp at which MATLAB® receives the temperature data from the BMI160 sensor. The timestamp output is optional.

Read the ambient temperature data from the BMI160 sensor.

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’}
       AvailableI2CBuses: {'i2c-1'}
             I2CBusSpeed: 100000
        AvailabelWebCams: mmal service 16.1 (platform:bcm2835-v4l2)

Create an bmi160 sensor object on the I2C bus 'i2c-1' on address '0x5F'.

sensor = bmi160(mypi,'Bus','i2c-1');
sensor = 

  bmi160 with properties:

                         I2CAddress: 95 ("0x5F")
                                Bus: i2c-1

Return one sample of ambient temperature data read from the BMI160 sensor.

[tempReading,timestamp] = readTemperature(sensor);
tempReading =

  data

    23.4384

timestamp = 

  datetime

   22-Dec-2020 17:23:09.934

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

[tempReading] = readTemperature(sensor);
tempReading =

  data

    23.4384

Input Arguments

collapse all

BMI160 sensor object connection to the Raspberry Pi hardware board, specified as a bmi160

Example: sensor = bmi160(mypi) creates a connection to the BMI160 sensor on the Raspberry Pi object mypi.

Output Arguments
