When connected to your hardware from MATLAB
Online, the default working directory is
/home/matlabrpi, instead of
/home/pi. This is the only directory you can delete
files from. Delete a file in /home/matlabrpi by using the
file name as an input argument.
deleteFile(mypi,'myvideo.h264')
Use the Camera Board
You can connect to the camera board from the MATLAB software, take a photograph, and record video.
Create a connection from the MATLAB software to the Raspberry Pi hardware.
mypi = raspi
Create a connection, mycam, from the MATLAB software to the camera board, and set the image resolution. The connection
displays the camera board properties.
mycam = cameraboard(mypi,'Resolution','1280x720')
mycam =
Cameraboard with Properties:
Name: Camera Board
Resolution: '1280x720' (View available resolutions)
Quality: 10 (1 to 100)
Rotation: 0 (0, 90, 180 or 270)
HorizontalFlip: 0
VerticalFlip: 0
FrameRate: 30 (2 to 30)
Recording: 0
Picture Settings
Brightness: 50 (0 to 100)

Exposure and AWB
ExposureMode: 'auto' (View available exposure modes)
ExposureCompensation: 0 (-10 to 10)
AWBMode: 'auto' (View available AWB modes)
MeteringMode: 'average' (View available metering modes)
Effects
ImageEffect: 'none' (View available image effects)
VideoStabilization: 'off'
ROI: [0.00 0.00 1.00 1.00] (0.0 to 1.0 [top, left, width, height])
Import and display a sequence of 10 snapshots on your computer.
for ii = 1:10
img = snapshot(mycam)
imagesc(img)
drawnow
end
If the image is upside down, change its orientation.
mycam.Rotation = 180
You can use the same approach to change the values of other cameraboard
properties.
Record a 60 second video.
record(mycam,'myvideo.h264',60)
Stop the recording immediately.
stop(mycam)
Copy the video from the board to your computer.
getFile(mypi,'myvideo.h264','C:\MATLAB ')
Delete the video file from the hardware to free up space.
mypi — Connection to specific Raspberry Pi hardware board raspi object
Connection to a specific Raspberry Pi hardware board, specified
as a raspi object.
filename — File to delete file name
File to delete, specified as a string. You can delete a file on the Raspberry Pi hardware. When you specify the file name, you can use path
information and wildcards. In MATLAB
Online, you can only delete files in the default working directory,
/home/matlabrpi.
