Accelerometer
Measure linear acceleration along X, Y, and Z axes in m/s2
- Library:
Simulink Support Package for Apple iOS Devices / Sensors
Description
The block measures linear acceleration along the X, Y, and Z axes. Units are in m/s2.
The figure shows the orientation of the positive X, Y, and Z axes for the Apple iOS device.
The orientation of the axes relative to the device remains constant. For example, if you place the device face-up on a table, the Z-axis measures the acceleration of Earth’s gravity and outputs about 9.81 m/s2. The X and Y axes, which are perpendicular to the acceleration of Earth’s gravity, both output about 0.00 m/s2.
Note
During simulation with no hardware connected, this block does nothing. For more information, see Block Produces Zeros or Does Nothing in Simulation.
