# CamAPS

> Unofficial — requires xDrip+ on Android to upload via Nightscout or Gluroo

SugarPixel+ does **not officially support CamAPS**. However, some users have successfully connected SugarPixel+ by using **xDrip+** to read CGM values and upload them for SugarPixel+ to download.

<Warning>
  **Important**

  * These steps are **Android only**
  * This is a **community-provided workaround**
  * Setup should be tested **before ordering SugarPixel+**
  * We may not be able to provide full support for issues related to this configuration
</Warning>

These steps are commonly used with **Dexcom**, and users have reported that they also work with **Libre sensors** when paired with CamAPS.

## How This Works

1. CamAPS manages the CGM sensor

<Steps>
  <Step title="xDrip+">
    runs on the same phone and reads CGM data

    3. xDrip+ uploads glucose values to **Nightscout or Gluroo** (recommended), or **Dexcom Share** (Dexcom sensors only)
    4. SugarPixel+ downloads data from that upload source
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install and Configure xDrip+">
    Install **xDrip+** on the same Android phone running CamAPS.

    * xDrip+ is an open-source app and is not available in the Play Store
    * Installation requires allowing apps from unknown sources
    * Follow the community instructions for using **CamAPS with xDrip+**

    Once configured, confirm that **xDrip+ is displaying glucose readings** before continuing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Your Upload Method">
    Once xDrip+ is receiving readings, configure it to upload data so SugarPixel+ can download it.

    **Nightscout or Gluroo** (works with Dexcom and Libre sensors)

    * If you already have a **Nightscout** site, configure xDrip+ to upload to it using **Cloud Upload → Nightscout Sync → Base URL**: `https://YourToken@YourUrl/api/v1`
    * If you do not have Nightscout, install the **Gluroo** app (free), skip CGM sync during setup, then go to **Devices → Other** and copy the **Gluroo Global Connect** URL and API Secret
    * Enter the upload address into xDrip+ using the same format: `https://YourToken@YourUrl/api/v1`

    After configuring the upload in xDrip+, enter the corresponding **URL and API Secret / Token** into SugarPixel+.
  </Step>
</Steps>
