Abstract:
This paper presents a MATLAB based graphical interface to evaluate the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) CC2650 Sensor Tag. Although this module contains more sensors, this paper considers the movement sensor which is composed of a gyroscope and an accelerometer. This sensor communicates by BLE with a PC that contains a USB BLE Dongle. Our contribution is to implement the application that allows using several scenario tests to evaluate this movement sensor. Thus, the accelerometer can be used to measure the pitch and role angles when the sensor is not moving linearly. The gyroscope is used to measure these angles as well as the yaw angle when the sensor is performing a linear movement. The graphical interface allows scanning of the BLE devices, establishing the link with one device, configuring the parameters of the device and displaying the time variation of angular rate, angular position and accelerations among others. There is the possibility of these measurements to be displayed in real time or off line, when all the data were acquired and processed. In this way the sensor can also be used to determine the trajectory of a person in an indoor environment.
