The Storm32 Gimbal Controller supports serial communication, and its documentation provides details on the output format and available commands.
You can read sensor data from the Storm32 Gimbal Controller in MATLAB by connecting it to your PC and identifying the serial port it is using. To establish a connection to this serial port in MATLAB, use the "serial" function if you are working with MATLAB R2019a or earlier. For MATLAB R2019b and later, it is recommended to use the "serialport" function, as the "serial" function is being deprecated.
For documentation on the "serial" function in older MATLAB versions, you can enter the following command in the MATLAB command window:
doc serial
For the documentation on the "serialport" function for newer MATLAB versions, see: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/serialport.html.
You may also find this example helpful for using the "serialport" interface to communicate over a serial connection: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/import_export/read-streaming-data-from-arduino.html.
Once the serial connection is open, you can send and receive data through it. Refer to the Storm32 Gimbal Controller's documentation for the correct commands to send and for parsing the received responses to obtain the sensor data you need.
I hope this answers your question.
