Usage
Scanner
The scanner allows you to find devices nearby, it is also responsible for the first creation of the device. Whatever type of device you work with, the use of the scanner will be the same.
The scanner works like this:
- Create scanner. When creating a scanner, you need to specify the type of device to search. It can be either one device or several. Here is example for two type of devices - BrainBit and Callibri.
Scanner sc = await Scanner.create([SensorFamily.leBrainBit, SensorFamily.leCallibri]);
- During the search, you can get a list of found devices using a callback. To do this, you need to subscribe to receive the event, and unsubscribe after the search is completed:
StreamSubscription<List<SensorInfo>>? scannerSubscription = scanner.sensorsStream.isten((foundedSensors) {
for (SensorInfo info in foundedSensors) {
print("${info.name}");
}
});
// remove subscription after use
scannerSubscription.cancel();
- Start search
await scanner.start();
- Stop search
await scanner.stop();
- Additionally, a list of found devices can be obtained using a separate method.
List<SensorInfo?> sensors = await scanner.getSensors();
Sensor info
SensorInfo
contains information about device:
Field | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
name | String | the name of device |
address | String | MAC address of device (UUID for iOS/MacOS) |
serialNumber | String | device's serial number |
sensFamily | SensorFamily | type of device |
sensModel | int | numerical value of the device model |
pairingRequared | bool | whether the device needs to be paired or not |
rssi | int | current signal strength in dBm. The valid range is -127, 126 |
Important! The serial number of the Callibri and Kolibri does not appear in the SensorInfo recieving during the search. To get this value, you need to connect to the device and request the serial number manually:
String serialNumber = await sensor.serialNumber.value;
- After you finish working with the scanner, you need to clean up the resources used.
scanner.dispose();
Important! When restarting the search, the callback will only be called when a new device is found. If you need to get all devices found by the current scanner instance, call the appropriate method.
Sensor
Creating
You need to create a device using a scanner and info about device receiving while search. All manipulations with the device will be performed without errors only if the device is connected. When created, the device is automatically connected. In the future, the connection state can be controlled through the sensor object. The sensor allows you to monitor the status of the device, set parameters, receive a signal of various types.
// retrieve information from a list or retrieve stored information from a callback
List<SensorInfo?> sensors = await scanner.getSensors();
SensorInfo? sensorInfo = sensors[0];
// BrainBit
BrainBit? sensor = await scanner.createSensor(info!) as BrainBit;
// Callibri
Callibri? sensor = await scanner.createSensor(info!) as Callibri;
Device creation is a blocking method, so it must be called from separate thread.
For all types of devices, you can use the same methods to control the device's connection status, invoke commands, and check for functionality.
Manage connection state
Connection status can be obtained in two ways. The first one is using the sensor property State.
The second way is in real time using a callback:
StreamSubscription<SensorState>? stateSubscription = sensor.sensorStateStream.listen((state) => print("State: $state"));
...
stateSubscription.cancel();
Important! The state change callback will not come after the device is created, only after disconnecting (device lost from the scope or using a method) and then connected. The device does not automatically reconnect.
You can connect and disconnect from device manually by methods Connect()
and Disconnect()
. To receive connection state in real time you need to subscribe to stateChanged event. Also you can get connection state by sensor's property.
await sensor.disconnect();
...
await sensor.connect();
Method
Connect
is blocking too, so it need to be call from separate thread.
Device finalization
When you are done with the device, it is recommended to disconnect from the device and clear the taken resources.
await sensor.disconnect();
sensor.dispose();
Manage device parameters
Battery
Also, you can get power value from each device by sensor property BattPower
or by callback in real time:
StreamSubscription<int>? powerSubscription = sensor.batteryPowerStream.listen((power) => print("Battery: $power"));
...
powerSubscription.cancel();
Parameters
Each device has its own settings, and some of them can be configured as you need. Not all settings can be changed and not every device supports all settings.
First you need to find out what parameters the device supports and whether they can be changed:
List<ParameterInfo?> pInfos = await sensor.parameters.value;
Info about parameter includes two fields:
ParameterInfo
Field | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
param | SensorParameter | the name of the parameter, represented by an enumeration |
paramAccess | SensorParamAccess | parameter availability for manipulation |
SensorParamAccess
Field | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
read | 0 | read-only |
readWrite | 1 | parameter can be changed |
readNotify | 2 | parameter is updated over time |
You can also check if the parameter is supported, for example Gain
:
if(await sensor.isSupportedParameter(SensorParameter.gain)){
...
}
Parameter description
Name
Name of device.
String name = await sensor.name.value;
...
await sensor.name.set("newName").onError((error, stackTrace) => print(error)); // <- catch an exception
State
Information about the connection status of a device. Can take two values:
- InRange - Device connected
- OutOfRange - The device is turned off or out of range
SensorState state = await sensor.state.value;
if (state == SensorState.inRange) {
print("connected");
} else {
print("disconnected");
}
Address
MAC-address of device. For iOS/MacOS represents by UUID. String value.
String address = await sensor.address.value;
SerialNumber
Serial number of device. String value.
For callibri device families, this field is empty in SensorInfo when searching, and you can get it immediately after connecting using this property.
String serialNumber = await sensor.serialNumber.value;
Firmware mode
Information about the current mode of operation of the device firmware. It can be in two states:
- ModeBootloader - the device is in bootloader mode
- ModeApplication - normal operation
SensorFirmwareMode mode = await sensor.firmwareMode.value;
// only for Callibri/ Kolibri
await sensor.firmwareMode.set(SensorFirmwareMode.modeApplication);
Sampling frequency
An property that is used to set or get the sample rate of a physiological signal. The higher the value, the more data flow from the device to the application, which means the higher the power consumption, but also the higher the range of measured frequencies. And there are also limitations on the physical communication channel (BLE) in terms of bandwidth.
Recommendations for choosing a value:
- For EEG signals not less than 250 Hz;
- For ECG signals 125 Hz;
- For EMG not less than 1000 Hz. When working with several devices at the same time, it is not recommended to increase the frequency above 1000 Hz;
- The breath channel has a fixed sampling rate of 20 Hertz. MEMS channels have a fixed sampling rate of 100 Hertz.
It is unchanged for BrainBit and BrainBitBlack and is 250 Hz. Can be changed for Signal Callibri/Kolibri and can take on the following values:
- 125 Hz
- 250 Hz
- 500 Hz
- 1000 Hz
- 2000 Hz
If you try to set an unsupported value to the device, an exception will be thrown.
SensorSamplingFrequency samplingFrequency = await sensor.samplingFrequency.value;
// set only for Callibri/Kolibri MF
await callibri.samplingFrequency.set(SensorSamplingFrequency.hz1000);
Gain
Gain of an ADC signal. The higher the gain of the input signal, the less noise in the signal, but also the lower the maximum amplitude of the input signal. For signal Callibi/Kolibri you can set the desired value. Not available for Callibi/Kolibri EMS.
The device uses a 24-bit ADC, but the last 3 bits are not used (discarded) to optimize the data flow over the radio channel. The weight of one bit is calculated using the following formula Wbit = (2*2.4) / ( (pow(2,21) - 1) * Gain ) volt
Available values for Callibri MF and BrainBit:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 6
- 8
- 12
SensorGain gain = await sensor.gain.value;
...
await sensor.gain.set(SensorGain.gain6);
If you try to set an unsupported value to the device, an exception will be thrown.
Offset
Signal offset. It is unchanged for BrainBit and BrainBitBlack and is 0. For Callibi/Kolibri MF you can set the desired value. Not available for Callibi/Kolibri EMS.
Available values for Callibri MF:
- 0
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
- 7
- 8

SensorFamily sensFamily = await sensor.sensFamily.value;
Features
Each device has a specific set of modules. You can find out which modules the device has using the property Feature
:
Set<SensorFeature> features = await sensor.features.value;
You can also check if the feature is supported, for example Signal
:
if (await callibri.isSupportedFeature(SensorFeature.signal)) {
...
}
Commands
The device can execute certain commands. The list of supported commands can be obtained as follows:
Set<SensorCommand> commands = await sensor.commands.value;
And also check if the device can execute the desired command:
if(await sensor.isSupportedCommand(SensorCommand.startSignal)){
...
}
BrainBit, BrainBitBlack
The BrainBit and BrainBitBlack is a headband with 4 electrodes and 4 data channels - O1, O2, T3, T4. The device has a frequency of 250 Hz, which means that data on each of the channels will come at a frequency of 250 samples per second. You can only change the gain of the signal. The other parameters cannot be changed and you will get an exception if you try.
You can distinguish BrainBit device from Flex by the firmware version number: if the
SensorVersion.FwMajor
is more than 100 - it's Flex, if it's less than BrainBit.
BrainBitBlack, unlike BrainBit, requires pairing with a PC/mobile device. So, before connecting to the BrainBitBlack, you must put it into pairing mode. SDK starts the pairing process automatically.
Receiving signal
To receive signal data, you need to subscribe to the corresponding callback. The values will be received as a packet from four channels at once, which will avoid desynchronization between them. The values come in volts. In order for the device to start transmitting data, you need to start a signal using the execute
command. This method is also recommended to be run in an separate thread.
StreamSubscription<List<BrainBitSignalData>>? signalSubscription = sensor.signalDataStream.listen((data) => print("Signal values: $data"));
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.startSignal);
...
signalSubscription.cancel();
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.stopSignal);
You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:
Field | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
packNum | int | number for each packet |
marker | int | marker of sample, if it was sent and this feature is supported by the device |
o1 | double | value of O1 channel in V |
o2 | double | value of O2 channel in V |
t3 | double | value of T3 channel in V |
t4 | double | value of T4 channel in V |
PackNum
cannot be more then 2047
Ping signal
Some devices support signal quality check functions using signal ping. You can send a specific value (marker) to the device and it will return that marker with the next signal data packet. Marker is small value one byte in size.
Available to BrainBitBlack and BrainBit2 / Flex / Pro
await sensor.pingNeuroSmart(5);
Recieving resistance
BrainBit and BrainBitBlack also allow you to get resistance values. With their help, you can determine the quality of the electrodes to the skin. Initial resistance values are infinity. The values change when the BB is on the head.
For BrainBit the upper limit of resistance is 2.5 ohms.
StreamSubscription<BrainBitResistData>? resistSubscription = sensor.resistDataStream.listen((data) => print("resist values: $data"));
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.startResist);

BrainBit 2/Flex/Pro
The BrainBit2 class is designed to work with several device families: BrainBit 2, BrainBit Pro, BrainBit Flex, BrainBit Flex Pro. All devices have a sampling frequency of 250Hz. All devices can work in two modes - signal and resistance separately. These devices have different number of channels - BrainBit2, BrainBit Flex have 4 channels each and BrainBitPro, BrainBit FlexPro have 8 channels each. The main difference from BraibBit of the first version is that they do not support gain property, but have the ability to set gain for each channel separately using BrainBit2AmplifierParam
structure. Also, these types of devices support the ping command.
Info about channels
The device can have 4 or 8 channels. The number of channels can be determined as follows:

chType | EEGChannelType | type of channel, possible values singleA1 , singleA2 , differential or ref |
name | String | channel name |
num | int | channel number. By this number the channel will be located in the array of signal or resistance values |
Also you can check only channels count without info:
int channelsCount = await sensor.channelsCount.value;
AmpMode
This device can show it's current amplifier mode. It can be in the following states:

samples | List | array of samples in V |
Signal settings
By default, the Callibri/Kolibri gives a signal without filters. In order to receive a certain type of signal, for example, EEG or ECG, you need to configure the device in a certain way. For this there is a property SignalTypeCallibri
. Preset signal types include:
- EEG - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 3, ADCInputResistance
- EMG - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 3, ADCInputResistance
- ECG - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 3, ADCInputResistance
- EDA (GSR) - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 8, ADCInputResistance, ExternalSwitchInElectrodes. By default the input to the terminals is set. If you want to change it to USB use the ExtSwInput property.
- TenzoBreathing - parameters: Gain8, Offset = 4, ADCInputResistance, ExternalSwitchInUSB
- StrainGaugeBreathing - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 4, ADCInputResistance, ExternalSwitchInUSB
- ImpedanceBreathing - parameters: Gain6, Offset = 4, ADCInputResistance, ExternalSwitchInRespUSB
Hardware filters disabled by default for all signal types. You can enable filters by HardwareFilters property, for example LP filter.
Important! When using an LP filter in the sensor, you will not see the constant component of the signal.
SignalTypeCallibri:
Field | Value |
---|---|
EEG | 0 |
EMG | 1 |
ECG | 2 |
EDA | 3 |
strainGaugeBreathing | 4 |
impedanceBreathing | 5 |
tenzoBreathing | 6 |
unknown | 7 |
// get
CallibriSignalType signalType = await sensor.signalType.value;
// set
await sensor.signalType.set(CallibriSignalType.EMG);
Receiving envelope
To get the values of the envelope, you need to subscribe to a specific event and start pickup. The channel must be configured in the same way as for a normal signal, and all parameters work the same way. Then the signal is filtered and decimated at 20 Hz.
StreamSubscription<List<CallibriEnvelopeData>>? envelopeSubscription = sensor.envelopeDataStream.listen((data) { print(data); });
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.startEnvelope);
...
envelopeSubscription.cancel();
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.stopEnvelope);
You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:
- PackNum - number for each packet
- sample in V
Field | Type | Description |

Check electrodes state
Allows you to determine the presence of electrical contact of the device electrodes with human skin. It can be in three states:
- Normal - The electrodes have normal skin contact. Low electrical resistance between electrodes. The expected state when working with physiological signals.
- Detached - High electrical resistance between electrodes. High probability of interference in the physiological signal.
- HighResistance - There is no electrical contact between the electrodes of the device.
To receive data, you need to subscribe to the corresponding callback and start signal pickup.
StreamSubscription<CallibriElectrodeState>? electrodeSubscription = callibri.electrodeStateStream.listen((state) { print(state); });
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.startSignal);
...
electrodeSubscription.cancel();
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.stopSignal);
Receiving Respiration
The breathing microcircuit is optional on request. Its presence can be checked using the IsSupportedFeature
method. To receive data, you need to connect to the device, subscribe to the notification of data receipt and start picking up.
StreamSubscription<List<CallibriRespirationData>>? respSubscription = sensor.respirationDataStream.listen((event) { print(event); });
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.startRespiration);
...
respSubscription.cancel()
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.stopRespiration);
You get signal values as a list of samples, each containing:
Field | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
packNum | int | number for each packet |
samples | List | sample in V |
MEMS
The MEMS microcircuit is optional on request. Its presence can be checked using the IsSupportedFeature method. This means that the device contains an accelerometer and a gyroscope. Contains information about the position of the device in space. Channel sampling frequency is 100 Hz.
MEMS data is a structure:
- PackNum - number for each packet
- Accelerometer - accelerometer data. Contains:
- X - Abscissa Acceleration
- Y - Y-axis acceleration
- Z - Acceleration along the applicate axis
- Gyroscope - gyroscope data
- X - The angle of inclination along the abscissa axis
- Y - Inclination angle along the ordinate axis
- Z - Angle of inclination along the axis of the applicate
Quaternion data is a structure:

- Y - Vector coordinate along the ordinate axis
- Z - The coordinate of the vector along the axis of the applicate
It is recommended to perform calibration on a flat, horizontal non-vibrating surface before starting work using the CalibrateMEMS
command. Calibration state can be checked using the MEMSCalibrateStateCallibri property, it can take only two values: calibrated (true), not calibrated (false).
MEMS and quaternion available only to Callibri/Kolibri MF!
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.calibrateMEMS);
bool isCalibrated = await sensor.memsCalibrateState.value;
// For receiving MEMS
StreamSubscription<List<MEMSData>>? memsSubscription = sensor.memsDataStream.listen((data) { print(data); });
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.startMEMS);
...
memsSubscription.cancel()
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.stopMEMS);
// For quarternion
StreamSubscription<List<QuaternionData>>? qSubscription = sensor.quaternionDataStream.listen((event) { print(event); });
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.startAngle);
...
qSubscription.cancel()
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.stopAngle);
Motion counter
Represents a motion counter. It can be configured using the CallibriMotionCounterParam property, in it:
- InsensThreshmG – Threshold of the algorithm's deadness in amplitude (in mg). The maximum value is 500mg. The minimum value is 0.
- InsensThreshSamp - Threshold of the algorithm's insensitivity in time (in samples with the MEMS sampling rate). The maximum value is 500 samples. The minimum value is 0.
You can find out the current number of movements using the MotionCounterCallibri
property. You can reset the counter with the ResetMotionCounter
command. No additional commands are needed to start the counter, it will be incremented all the time until the reset command is executed.
if (await sensor.isSupportedParameter(SensorParameter.motionCounter)) {
int motionCount = await sensor.motionCounter.value;
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.resetMotionCounter);
}
Callibri/Kolibri EMS
Kallibri is a EMS if it supports the stimulation module:
bool isStimulator = await sensor.isSupportedFeature(SensorFeature.currentStimulator);
Stimulation
Before starting the session, you need to correctly configure the device, otherwise the current strength may be too strong or the duration of stimulation too long. The setting is done using the StimulatorParamCallibri
property. You can set the following options:
- Current - stimulus amplitude in mA. 1..100
- PulseWidth - duration of the stimulating pulse by us. 20..460
- Frequency - frequency of stimulation impulses by Hz. 1..200.
- StimulusDuration - maximum stimulation time by ms. 0...65535. Zero is infinitely.
You can start and stop stimulation with the following commands:
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.startCurrentStimulation);
...
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.stopCurrentStimulation);
Stimulation does not stop after the
StimulusDuration
time has elapsed.
You can check the state of stimulation using the StimulatorMAStateCallibri property. Contains two parameters:
- StimulatorState - Stimulation mode state
- MAState - Drive assistant mode state
Each of the parameters can be in 4 states:
- NoParams - parameter not set
- Disabled - mode disabled
- Enabled - mode enabled
- Unsupported - sensor unsupported
Motion assistant
The Callibri EMS, which contains the MEMS module, can act as a motion corrector. You can set the initial and final angle of the device and the limb on which the Callibri/Kolibri is installed, as well as a pause between stimulations and turn on the motion assistant. All the time while the device is tilted in the set range, stimulation will met. Stimulation will take place according to the settings of StimulatorParamCallibri.
The motion corrector works in the background. After turning on the motion assistant mode, it will work regardless of the connection to a mobile device/PC. You can turn on the motion corrector mode using a special command. When the device is rebooted, it is also reset.
Motion corrector parameters are a structure with fields:
- GyroStart - Angle value in degrees at which the stimulation mode will start, if it is correctly configured.
- GyroStop - Angle value in degrees above which the stimulation mode will stop, if it is correctly configured.
- Limb - overlay location in stimulation mode, if supported.
- MinPauseMs - Pause between starts of stimulation mode in milliseconds. Multiple of 10. This means that the device is using the (MinPauseMs / 10) value. Correct values: 10, 20, 30, 40 ...
await sensor.motionAssistantParam.set(CallibriMotionAssistantParams(gyroStart: 45, gyroStop: 10, limb: CallibriMotionAssistantLimb.rightLeg, minPauseMs: 10));
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.enableMotionAssistant);
...
await sensor.execute(SensorCommand.disableMotionAssistant);
