Is there any support for PS4 controller and 9DOF IMU in MATLAB & SIMULINK?

How to integrate PS4 controller and get the analog and digital reading in MATLAB and calibrate a 9degree of freedom IMU using SIMULINK AND MATLAB.

Hello Prayag,

There is not currently support from MathWorks for the PS4 controller in MATLAB or Simulink. A limited number of gamepads are supported in the following add-on package,

but the Playstation 4 Controller is not one of them. There is a chance a third-party tool like DS4windows would help, but I cannot say for sure. Even if it worked, there would still be the issue of the tilt axes, since those are not supported on most gamepads.

As for the IMU, there is a block in the Aerospace toolbox that allows for conversion from 6 DOF signals to position and rotation. 9 DOF IMUs are not directly supported, but there are certainly plenty of tools for you to develop your own algorithms. There may also be third-party tools for this already on MATLAB Central.

Sincerely,

Grant
