Syntax

[tempReading,timestamp] = readTemperature(sensor)

Description

example

[tempReading,timestamp] = readTemperature(sensor) returns one sample of the ambient temperature data from the LSM303C IMU 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 LSM303C sensor. The timestamp output is optional.

Read the ambient temperature data from the LSM303C IMU 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 lsm303c sensor object on the I2C bus 'i2c-1' on addresses '0x1D' and '0x1E'.

sensor = lsm303c(mypi,'Bus','i2c-1');
sensor = 

  lsm303c with properties:

                         I2CAddress: 29 ("0x1D")
                                   : 30 ("0x1E")
                                Bus: i2c-1

Return one sample of ambient temperature data read from the LSM303C sensor.

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

  data

    20.7500


timestamp = 

  datetime

   10-Dec-2020 18:12:45.045

Since the timestamp output is optional, you can obtain only the temperature data from the LSM303C sensor.

[tempReading] = readTemperature(sensor);
tempReading =

  data

    20.7500

Input Arguments

collapse all

LSM303C sensor object connection to the Raspberry Pi hardware board, specified as a lsm303c object.

Example: sensor = lsm303c(mypi) creates a connection to the LSM303C sensor on the Raspberry Pi object mypi.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Read the ambient temperature data from the LSM303C sensor.

Read the date and time at which MATLAB receives the ambient temperature sample value from the LSM303C sensor, specified as a datetime.
