AndroidSensorStream

A (very) simple app that streams the device's orientation along with 4 buttons states to a IP:Port using UDP protocol. The orientation is obtained from the Rotation Vector virtual sensor. The axes of the device are defined this way.

The data format sent to the specified IP:Port is:

{
  orientX: float,
  orientY: float,
  orientZ: float,
  button1: boolean,
  button2: boolean,
  button3: boolean,
  button4: boolean
}

Orientation is in degrees, the state of the buttons are: pressed (true) not pressed (false).

A simple program to receive (and process) the data could be (in Node.js):

var dgram = require('dgram');
var server = dgram.createSocket('udp4');
var port = 41234;
server.on('message', function(msg, rinfo){
  var data = JSON.parse(msg.toString());
  console.log(data);
});
server.bind(port);
