Two ways to develop your app

There are two ways to develop an app for our potentiostats (or potentiostat modules).

Option 1: using the PalmSens SDK for Android or iOS using MAUI

The easiest and fastest way to develop an Android app is by using the PalmSens SDK for .NET with MAUI. The SDK takes care of the device’ communications protocol. The .NET for MAUI platform allows you to write a single app targeting Android and / or iOS. Our libraries for .NET are compatible with MAUI and we have a code example available that shows how to build such an app for any of our potentiostat (modules).

Pros:

Run measurements with a few lines of simple code.

Use the libraries for doing data analysis like peak detection or equivalent circuit fitting on EIS data.

Cons:

Bound to MAUI .NET which means you need experience with C# or VB.NET.

Get started with .NET for MAUI

Option 2: use MethodSCRIPT and write a native app for Android or iOS

The Sensit Smart, Sensit BT, the EmStat4, EmStat Pico and EmStat Go (with EmStat Pico), support MethodSCRIPT^TM. A tutorial and code example in Swift is available to show how to build a native app using the MethodSCRIPT^TM communications protocol. A similar example for Android Studio is available written in Java for both Bluetooth and USB communication with our hardware.

Pros:

Use any programming language for your app (Swift, Objective-C, Java).

Full freedom using MethodSCRIPTs to run any custom script on-board your device.

Cons:

Implementation of the protocol means more complexity and more code.

Data processing and data analysis needs to be programmed manually by yourself.

Start with MethodSCRIPT examples
