Reading BNO055 on MATlab

Hello,

I'm currently attempting to retrieve euler angles from my BNO055 sensor which is connected to my arduino. I've managed to get MATlab to recognize the arduino connection and what it's properties are, but I'm uncertain as to how I'd approach retrieving this data. I'm able to do this using the Arduino IDE/Serial plotter, but not sure how I'd attempt this on MATlab.

I'm fairly new to MATlab, so bear with me.

Thanks a lot.

In case if you managed to read data from simulink or matlab directly, can you help me with the process regarding how you were able to read the data. In simulink, i tried using the block to read data and recorded it to a MAT file , but all the readings recorded are in a 3x1 matrix with all the element as zero.

Thanks a lot

Here is an example of how to communicate with an I2C device - https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/arduinoio/ug/measure-temperature-from-i2c-device-on-arduino-hardware.html

You can use a similar approach to communicate with your sensor. Please note - the commands will most probably be completely different for your sensor, you will have to find the appropriate commands from Manual of the sensor.

If you have Simulink, then Simulink Support package for Arduino and this library (https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/66568-arduino_engineering_kit_hardware_support) will give you some of the values from this sensor directly into Simulink.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
