Communicating APM with MATLAB

Posted by Mohamed Abdelkader Zahana on April 21, 2013 at 1:18am

Dear all,

I would like to communicate my APM2 with MATLAB using USB.

Basically, I would like to send the raw data of the accelerometer, gyros, and the magnetometer to MATLAB for advanced processing.

What is the right code to write on the APM as well as on MATLAB for the communication to work as perfect as possible with the minimal packets loss, if none at all ?!

I really need your help to get this done as soon as possible!

Thanks.

Hi everyone !!

It's been ages since I worked with APM. Currently I use Pixhawk/PX4 in my research work, and I use PX4 Firmware, not Ardupilot firmware. I have just finished writing and testing a Matlab interface called MatMav 1.0 that allows one to monitor/command Pixhawk/PX4 loaded with PX4 Firmware. I will share a test version, not the full one, on my MATLAB, profile in FileExchange. I will pos the link here too, once uploaded.

Here are some videos during the development stage of MatMav 1.0

Hi all,

I am doing some polish to the code and then I will post it on Mathworks File exchange. I will put a link here.

Hi Zahana, I am working on a similar project which involves accessing the IMU data in real-time and processing it in Matlab. I am very interested in how you have done it. Do you mind send me your work to my email? My email is bluesyhfang@gmail.com. Thank you very much.
