Motion X iOS

Motion X is an iOS application designed to capture and visualize device motion data such as roll, pitch, yaw and acceleration using the device's inbuilt sensors.

The app also features the capability to send this data over a WebSocket connection to a specified server address and port.

Features

• Real-Time Motion Data Capture: Captures roll, pitch, yaw and acceleration data using Core Motion framework in real-time.

• WebSocket Communication: Sends motion data to a server via WebSocket protocol.

• Data Visualization: Displays the motion data graphically in a line chart format.

• User Interface: Simple and intuitive interface for connecting to the server and displaying motion data.

Installation

Motion X iOS is currently not yet uploaded to the App Store. We will need to build it from the source.

Build from source

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/LkxPro/Motion-X-iOS.git

Open the Motion X.xcodeproj file in Xcode.

Connect your iOS device to your computer.

Select your device as the build destination in Xcode.

Press the Run button to build and install the app on your device

Setting Up the Server

Install Node.js

brew install node

Install WebSocket library

npm install ws

Create a server.js file

const WebSocket = require('ws');

const port = 8080;
const server = new WebSocket.Server({ port });

console.log(`WebSocket server is running on ws://localhost:${port}`);

server.on('connection', (ws) => {
  console.log('Client connected');

  ws.on('message', (message) => {
    console.log(`Received: ${message}`);
    // Broadcast the message to all other connected clients
    server.clients.forEach((client) => {
      if (client !== ws && client.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
        client.send(message);
      }
    });
  });

  ws.on('close', () => {
    console.log('Client disconnected');
  });
});

Start server.js

node server.js

Enter the server address and port on the Motion X iOS App, then click 'Connect'. The server will now start receiving motion data.
