Description

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()
# -------------------------------------------------------

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★This app has good idea, but very ver poor execution. Transmiting UDP packet is not using xml structure as it should. Means that there is very hard to program any universal receiving algorithm. It has a bug when screen is turned to landscape mode, all elements are untouchable and gets overriden. Update rate is set as "fastest", "fast", "medium" and "slow". No frequency settings, and not even information about frequency. This basically does not alows you to use data for correct analysis. There is no filtering, scaling or thresholding and no settings. It is ad-hoc app that is useless for other reason, than author shows on his video.
5 ★Saved me from writing the exact same app. I wish it was open sourced so it can be expanded with other sensors, and that the MATLAB code was also available.
5 ★Good app just little slow in my xiaomi phone. Overall very good app
5 ★Nice program, thanks. I also need GPS data sent to the PC? Can we work out a deal?
