Support Forums
If you need advice on designing and developing your project, or if you’re having a problem with a particular application, then chances are someone in our online community can help.

There are a number of components on the Shimmer family of products that Shimmer Research does not manufacture (Bluetooth module for example). For specifications, technical documents, or issues relating to these components the manufacturer’s website is often the best and quickest source of information. Simply check the component details from our manual, and visit the manufacture’s website. If you cannot locate the required detail, contact us and we’ll point you in the right direction.
If you haven’t found a resource tool that addresses your issue, we have a support email that goes to our experienced (and extremely bright!) engineers. Before getting in contact, our engineers ask you to please first read the technical service they can offer …
