Description

roto_bluvibmvt3.aar is an Android™ library that allows communication with the Sensor-Works BluVib M-V-T-3 bluetooth 3-axis acceletometer. The library provides simple commands to scan, connect, collect and post-process the vibration data.

Installation

Follow the steps below to install the roto_bluvibmvt3.aar library

  1. In your projects top bar menu, select >File >New >New Module... A new window will appear, select "Import .JAR/.AAR Package" from the options

  2. In the new popup window browse and select the roto_bluvibmvt3.aar library adn click on "Finish"

  3. The roto_bluvibmvt3 library will appear on the right

  4. in your App build.gradle add the following dependency
    5. 
            ...
            dependencies {
                    ...
                    implementation files('libs/roto_bluvibmvt3.aar')
                }
            ...

Configuring your project

  1. Add the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permits to the Android Manifest
    2. 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.rotovibes.sam_modules_test">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.bluetooth_le" android:required="true"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.bluetooth_le" android:required="true"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
  2. In your Activity add the permissions request
    3. 
...
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private static final int PERMISSION_REQUEST_FINE_LOCATION = 1;
    private static final int PERMISSION_REQUEST_BACKGROUND_LOCATION = 2;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,new String[]{
            Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION}, 1001);
...

Connecting to the Sensor

  1. Create actions to scan and connect to the bluetooth sensor.
    2. 
...
        //start scanning for the ble sensor
        BluVib3_conn.bluvib3_start();
        
        //connect the ble sensor
        BluVib3_conn.bluvib3_connect();
...

    The output in the log console should display the ID and the calibration value of the connected sensor

Collecting Data

  1. Once connected to a sensor, send the BluVib3_conn.bluvib3_collect(int numberSamplesCode, int samplingRateCode) command to collect data with the specific number of samples and sampling rate. There are 6 sampling rates and 7 number of samples options in this sensor.
    2. 
//samplingRateCode:0 -> SamplingRate = 512
//samplingRateCode:1 -> SamplingRate = 1280
//samplingRateCode:2 -> SamplingRate = 2560
//samplingRateCode:3 -> SamplingRate = 5120
//samplingRateCode:4 -> SamplingRate = 12800
//samplingRateCode:5 -> SamplingRate = 25600

//numberSamplesCode:0 -> NumberOfSamples = 512
//numberSamplesCode:1 -> NumberOfSamples = 1024
//numberSamplesCode:2 -> NumberOfSamples = 2048
//numberSamplesCode:3 -> NumberOfSamples = 4096
//numberSamplesCode:4 -> NumberOfSamples = 8192
//numberSamplesCode:5 -> NumberOfSamples = 16384
//numberSamplesCode:6 -> NumberOfSamples = 32768

...
        BluVib3_conn.bluvib3_collect(int numberSamplesCode, int samplingRateCode)
...

    The output in the log console should look like this:


Combine this framework with vibEngine.framework to perform signal post-processing and with the vibeFDaD.framework to analize the machine condition. Third party frameworks can also be used to plot and enhance the users interface.
