carp.sensing-flutter

This repo holds the source code for the Copenhagen Research Platform (CARP) Mobile Sensing (CAMS) Flutter software. It contains the source code for CARP first-party (i.e., developed by the core CARP team) CAMS framework, its packages, and example apps.

In addition, the CARP team maintains a set of Flutter plugins (mainly) for sensing purposes. Flutter plugins enable access to platform-specific APIs. For more information about plugins, and how to use them, see the Flutter Packages description.

All the CARP Flutter components including the plugins are also available on pub.dev.

Documentation

The overall documentation of the software architecture of CARP Mobile Sensing, and how to use and extend it, is available on the CAMS Documentation site. Each of the specific packages also contains more detailed documentation on how each package is used within the framework (e.g., how the Movesense sampling package is utilized).
