Description

The Shimmer Platform Development Kit provides a set of development tools that allows for the creation of applications for the Shimmer platform. With a range of sensing modules, three Shimmer units and two USB Readers / Programming Docks, the Platform Development Kit enables developers from a range of environments to discover Shimmer’s full potential.

Included in the package are the Shimmer Manual and Live USB that provides full documentation, sample codes and applications that demonstrate most protocol commands with fully-commented source code. Development Kit users can also avail of the Shimmer Display application which enables users to display the data received from Shimmer. The program can also capture data to disk and / or send it as UDP packets on the local network. The data can be captured in the Bluetooth client mode only, and can export to a Binary file, or a CSV file. As the data is coming over a standard serial port – any Windows program (Windows 95 to Windows 7) will be able to receive the data, meaning there is no need for any driver.
