Wireless IMU

Jan Zwiener

About this app

This app sends the measurements from your phone inertial sensors via UDP as CSV (Comma-Separated Values) to a computer in your network.
This turns your phone into a wireless inertial measurement unit (IMU).

The following sensors are supported:

- Accelerometer
- Gyroscope
- Magnetometer

If your phone has not all these sensors, only the available sensor data is transmitted.

Example UDP packet:
890.71558, 3, 0.076, 9.809, 0.565, 4, -0.559, 0.032, -0.134, 5, -21.660,-36.960,-28.140

Timestamp [sec], sensorid, x, y, z, sensorid, x, y, z, sensorid, x, y, z

Sensor id:
3 - Accelerometer (m/s^2)
4 - Gyroscope (rad/s)
5 - Magnetometer (micro-Tesla uT)

You can run this app in the background.
A warning dialog appears, if you are not connected to a WiFi network.

In the example video, the stream is directly processed by a MATLAB script for Kalman Filtering. But it's up to you, what you do with the data.

With the following Python script you can capture the UDP data stream from your phone:

# -------------------------------------------------------
import socket, traceback

host = ''
port = 5555

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1)
s.bind((host, port))

while 1:
try:
message, address = s.recvfrom(8192)
print message
except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
raise
except:
traceback.print_exc()

Hello developer why this app stop in a minutes but i run this in background. Actually your app really help the delay gyroscopes in pubg mobile can you please fix the the desappearing or stoping of this. I hope this will run permanent or i just turned off when im done. I really love your app sir i feel my 2gb ram is almost same in iphones gyroscpe because it accurate faster please please fix ❤❤❤

It's doing its peak performance ,but lacking in background managing process,it gets disconnected easily after few minutes even with a better ram device,,please look after this issue.

It really works but after 4 to 5 minutes it turns off and this glitch is occurring from a whole year I think it should be fixed otherwise this app is useless.

What's new

- Screen rotation problem fixed
- Bug fix (app was not sending data)
