readGesture

Read gesture through APDS9960 sensor

Since R2021b

Add-On Required: This feature requires the MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware add-on.

Syntax

[readGesture,timestamp] = readGesture(apds9960obj)

Description

[readGesture,timestamp] = readGesture(apds9960obj) returns the gesture readings as an enumeration constant. The possible values for the enumeration constant are none, up, down, left, or right. Timestamp is optional.

Examples

Read Gesture from Sensor

Create an Arduino object.

arduinoobj = arduino('COM4', 'Nano33BLE', 'Libraries', 'APDS9960');

Create the sensor object for the sensor.

apds9960obj = apds9960(arduinoobj)
[gesture, timestamp] = readGesture(apds9960obj)

The gesture enum returns the gesture.

gesture = Gestures enumeration

    down
timestamp = datetime
