# Develop sensors

This section covers the development and integration process for sensor drivers and algorithms within the Qualcomm® sensing hub (QSH) framework. Before starting, read Messages to understand the `.proto` file schemas and message model.

- Sensor and sensor instances — Sensor and sensor instance lifecycle, producer/consumer model, and shared instance behavior.
- QSH services — Stream service, attribute service, diagnostic service, GPIO service, and other framework services available to drivers.
- Calibrate sensors — Factory and runtime calibration procedures required before production deployment.

## Develop and integrate sensor drivers

To develop and integrate custom sensor drivers, see
[Develop and integrate sensor drivers](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-80022-7A/topic/developing_sensor_driver_as_per_qsh_design.html).

## Develop and integrate custom sensor algorithms

To develop and integrate a QSH-compliant sensor algorithm, see
[Develop and integrate custom sensor algorithms](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-80022-7A/topic/developing_custom_algorithm_and_integrating_with_qsh.html#).
