interactive animation based on orientation data of IMU

@ProgrammingGo please try this one, automatic (instead of manual) simulation of Bluetooth values and using continuous animation

@cvp Hi cvp thank you soo much. I will give a look on that. Thank you for your time. If I will have questions I will write here. I am thinking that it would be better to use quaternions instead of euler angler to avoid gimbal lock. I think there should be a lib for that, right?
-
@ProgrammingGo said:
I think there should be a lib for that
I suppose but I really don't know anything about that.
-
okay, I will give a trial. What for me is unclear is how I can map the sensor values to the graphic. I mean I know that I have a referential coordinate system and based on that my sensor is moving, but it is not clear how to do it.
-
@ProgrammingGo Euler angles are orientation data of your object (here a cube) versus the 3 axes, thus SceneKit geometry node is easy to orientate.
-
@cvp you don’t need a separate thread with all the overhead to update the scene objects. There is the scene renderer delegate (can be the same class instance as your main), which has an 'update' method to take care of exactly these type of tasks.
-
@pulbrich Thanks, the thread was for the Bluetooth listening, here simulated
-
@ProgrammingGo if you ever need to penetrate the domain of various coordinate system representations (angles included) I recommend you look at Pyrr
-
What would be cool would be to have two Pythonista scripts.
- The iPhone script would get the pitch, yaw, and roll of the iPhone and transmit that over Bluetooth.
- The iPad script could use those Bluetooth signals to change the angel of the airplane on the iPad screen.
-
-
-
@ccc yes, I know and understand but I don't have any experience with it
-
@ccc, would suggest multipeer for that. Uses bluetooth without the need to think about it.

You can turn the device and pinch/rotate the image

LOL... I read @mikael ‘s impressive multipeer this morning and then wrote the iPhone piece of the two iOS device idea that I mentioned above. If you add multipeer to your code above, the angle (but perhaps not the angel) of the plane ✈️ on the iPad will react to iPhone movements.
https://github.com/cclauss/Ten-lines-or-less/blob/master/attitude_to_multipeer.py -
@ccc Did you try my script on only one iDevice , it reacts to its movements.
I always only work on my iPad because my iPhone is very old and slow (iPhone 5s) but if you want, I could spend some time tomorrow to try what you say. -
@ccc Done, thanks to marvelous multipeer of @mikael.
I use your attitude_to_multipeer.py on my iPhone and my script modified to get infos from iPhone on my iPad, source here -
It’s great how community supports Pythonista live.
