# Develop with sensor APIs

For driver and algorithm authors on the low-power processor. The Qualcomm® sensing hub (QSH) sensor APIs provide the framework for implementing physical sensor drivers and virtual sensor algorithms on the application digital signal processor (aDSP). Before writing code, read Messages to understand the `.proto` file schemas and message model.
