CARP eSense Sampling Package

This library contains a sampling package for the carp_mobile_sensing framework to work with the eSense earable computing platform. This packages supports sampling of the following Measure types(s)

• esense_button : eSense button pressed / released events
• esense_sensor : eSense sensor (accelerometer & gyroscope) events.

See the user documentation on the eSense device for how to use the device. See the esense Flutter plugin and its API documentation to understand how sensor data is generated and their data formats.

See the carp_mobile_sensing wiki for further documentation, particularly on available measure types and sampling schemas.

For Flutter plugins for other CARP products, see CARP Mobile Sensing in Flutter.

If you're interested in writing you own sampling packages for CARP, see the description on how to extend CARP on the wiki.
