Pressure Sensor
Measure atmospheric pressure
Library
Simulink Support Package for Android Devices / Sensors
Description
Get the atmospheric pressure measurement in hectopascals (hPa) from the pressure sensor on the Android™ device.
The Pressure Sensor block outputs a single
—precision
scalar value.
One hectopascal is equivalent to 1 millibar. Standard atmospheric pressure is 1013.25 hPa. Both weather conditions and altitude affect atmospheric pressure.
Note
During simulations without hardware, this block outputs zeros. See Block Produces Zeros or Does Nothing in Simulation.
Parameters
- Sample time
Specify how often the block reads the sensor.
Smaller values require the processor to complete the same number of instructions in less time, which can cause task overruns.
