1)CMAccelerometerData

represents an accelerometer event. It is a measurement of acceleration along the three spatial axes at a moment of time.

An application accesses CMAccelerometerData objects through the block handler specified as the last parameter of thestartAccelerometerUpdatesToQueue:withHandler: method and through the accelerometerData property, both declared by the CMMotionManager class. The superclass of CMAccelerometerData, CMLogItem, defines a timestamp property that records when the acceleration measurement was taken.

  [cmmotionmanager startAccelerometerUpdatesToQueue:                     [NSOperationQueue currentQueue] withHandler:^(CMAccelerometerData*accelerometerData, NSError *error) {

        

        CMAccelerometerData *newestAccel = cmmotionmanager.accelerometerData;

        NSLog(@"the value is %f",newestAccel.acceleration.x);

        NSLog(@"the yvalue is %f",newestAccel.acceleration.y);

        NSLog(@"the zvalue is %f",newestAccel.acceleration.z);

    }];

2)CMAttitude

  The CMAttitude class offers three different mathematical representations of attitude: a rotation matrix, a quaternion, and Euler angles (roll, pitch, and yaw values). You access CMAttitude objects through the attitude property of each CMDeviceMotion objects passed to an application. An application starts receiving these device-motion objects as a result of calling the startDeviceMotionUpdatesUsingReferenceFrame:toQueue:withHandler: method, thestartDeviceMotionUpdatesToQueue:withHandler: method, the startDeviceMotionUpdatesUsingReferenceFrame: method or thestartDeviceMotionUpdates method of the CMMotionManager class.

[ cmmanager startDeviceMotionUpdatesToQueue:[NSOperationQueue currentQueue]

                                   withHandler:^(CMDeviceMotion *motion, NSError *error) {

                                       CMAttitude *s=motion.attitude;

                  

                                       NSLog(@"the value is######### %f",s.pitch);

                                       NSLog(@"the yvalue is###### %f",s.roll);

                                       NSLog(@"the zvalue is####### %f",s.yaw);

                                   }];

3)CMDeviceMotion

An instance of CMDeviceMotion encapsulates measurements of the attitude, rotation rate, and acceleration of a device.

An application receives or samples CMDeviceMotion objects at regular intervals after calling thestartDeviceMotionUpdatesUsingReferenceFrame:toQueue:withHandler: method, the startDeviceMotionUpdatesToQueue:withHandler: method, thestartDeviceMotionUpdatesUsingReferenceFrame: method, or the startDeviceMotionUpdates method of the CMMotionManager class.

The accelerometer measures the sum of two acceleration vectors:gravity and user acceleration. User acceleration is the acceleration that the user imparts to the device. Because Core Motion is able to track a device’s attitude using both thegyroscope and the accelerometer, it can differentiate between gravity and user acceleration. ACMDeviceMotion object provides both measurements in the gravity and userAcceleration properties.

     

attitude

The attitude of the device. (read-only)

@property(readonly, nonatomic)  CMAttitude *attitude

Discussion

A CMAttitude object represents a measurement of attitude—that is, the orientation of a body relative to a given frame of reference.

Availability

• Available in iOS 4.0 and later.

•   @property rotationRate

Declared In

CMDeviceMotion.h

gravity

The gravity acceleration vector expressed in the device's reference frame. (read-only)

@property(readonly, nonatomic) CMAcceleration gravity

Discussion

The total acceleration of the device is equal to gravity plus the acceleration the user imparts to the device (userAcceleration).

Availability

• Available in iOS 4.0 and later.

Declared In

CMDeviceMotion.h

magneticField

Returns the magnetic field vector with respect to the device. (read-only)

@property(readonly, nonatomic) CMCalibratedMagneticField magneticField

Discussion

The CMCalibratedMagneticField returned by this property gives you the total magnetic field in the device’s vicinity without device bias. Unlike the magneticFieldproperty of the CMMagnetometer class, these values reflect the earth’s magnetic field plus surrounding fields, minus device bias.

If the device does not have a magnetometer, the accuracy field of the property’s value (a CMCalibratedMagneticField structure) isCMMagneticFieldCalibrationAccuracyUncalibrated.

Availability

• Available in iOS 5.0 and later.

Declared In

CMDeviceMotion.h

rotationRate

The rotation rate of the device. (read-only)

@property(readonly, nonatomic) CMRotationRate rotationRate

Discussion

A CMRotationRate structure contains data specifying the device’s rate of rotation around three axes. The value of this property contains a measurement of gyroscope data whose bias has been removed by Core Motion algorithms. The identically name property of CMGyroData, on the other hand, gives the raw data from the gyroscope. The structure type is declared in CMGyroData.h.

• Available in iOS 4.0 and later.

userAcceleration

The acceleration that the user is giving to the device. (read-only)

@property(readonly, nonatomic) CMAcceleration userAcceleration

4)CMGyroData

An instance of the CMGyroData class contains a single measurement of the device’s rotation rate.

An application receives or samples CMGyroData objects at regular intervals after calling the startGyroUpdatesToQueue:withHandler: method or thestartGyroUpdates method of the CMMotionManager class.

rotationRate

The rotation rate as measured by the device’s gyroscope. (read-only)

5)CMLogItem

The CMLogItem class is a base class for Core Motion classes that handle specific types of motion events. Objects of this class represent a piece of time-tagged data that can be logged to a file.

CMLogItem defines a read-only timestamp property that records the time a motion-event measurement was taken.

The time when the logged item is valid. (read-only)

@property(readonly, nonatomic) NSTimeInterval timestamp

Discussion

The time stamp is the amount of time in seconds since the phone booted.

Availability

• Available in iOS 4.0 and later.

Declared In

6)CMMagnetmeterData

Instances of the CMMagnetometerData class encapsulated measurements of the magnetic field made by the device’s magnetometer.

Your application can obtain samples of magnetometer measurements, as represented by instances of this class, from the block handler of thestartMagnetometerUpdatesToQueue:withHandler: method or from the magnetometerData property of the CMMotionManager class.

Note: The magnetometerData property of CMMotionManager provides a non-nil value only if you have called the startMagnetometerUpdates method or thestartMagnetometerUpdatesToQueue:withHandler: method to start magnetometer updates.

7)CMMotionManager

A CMMotionManager object is the gateway to the motion services provided by iOS. These services provide an application with accelerometer data, rotation-rate data, magnetometer data, and other device-motion data such as attitude. These types of data originate with a device’s accelerometers and (on some models) its magnetometer and gyroscope.
