Basically, one part of my project is to record the mouse position in appdesigner on an electrovibration tactile screen. I have to use my finger (with 4 haptic motors embedded in a ring).
I am able to record the mouse position when using the mouse itself on the electrovibration tactile screen. But the problem i am facing is that when using my finger i have to tap/click in order to get any feedback from the UIapp and unfortunately it is not required.
I thought at first that it was an issue with the electrovibration tactile screen but figure it out later that no.(I did a test by using "Guide" instead of appdesigner and everything is going just perfectly . I dont need any tapping and i am getting feedback from the Gui.
Below is my main code. It is also attached

also, @s pernot helped me out with this code down saying
"i would suggest to use the following trick from Y. Altman to better tune your GUI app callbacks
several points :
  • clock is 50x more efficient on my PC than datetime('now')... so use it or alternatively use cputime instead of datetime('now')
  • callbacks keep being triggered so you must control the way they work and exit as soon as possible, you may also prevent reentry if necessary by using uiaxes Interactivity and BusyAction props or similar
  • you must tune the refreshing frequency in the callback to match your responsiveness
i hope this will help"
My concern in which callbacks should i place them cos i am getting errors...After the writeline command of running the motor or in another place?
persistent lasttime
if isempty(lasttime)
lasttime = clock;
end % if lasttime
if all(clock - lasttime >= [0 0 0 0 0 0.04]) % 25 Hz refreshing
% do your stuff here
% xxxx
% update for next callback entry
lasttime = clock;
end
% exit callback as soon as possible here

Hi Franck paulin Ludovig pehn Mayo,
It appears to me that you are facing difficulty in getting mouse position without a click event in the app designer. You can use “WindowButtonMotionFcn” callback for the same.
You can refer to the following video to know more about the “WindowButtonMotionFcn” callback: https://blogs.mathworks.com/videos/2019/08/19/saving-state-in-a-windowbuttonmotionfcn-callback/
