MATLAB: Tuning a PID controller with real time sensor input

Question

Hi all

I understand that it is possible to tune a PID controller according to various inputs, such as a RNG source block, a sine wave block, CSV value files etc.

However, how does one tune a PID controller using real time sensor data, especially from an android phone's sensors ? For example an accelerometer.

Can a PID controller be tuned interactively with the user moving and rotating the phone around ?

Cheers !!

You can use TCP/IP blocks on Android to send sensor data to other hardware(Adruino/Rasberry pi/Lego) or host PC.
