Proto3 Mini Expansion Board

The Shimmer PROTO3 Mini expansion board is part of the Shimmer PROTO3 series which consists of a number of expansion boards for the Shimmer3 platform.

These expansion boards can be used to interface the Shimmer3 with an Analogue Output Sensor, a Digital Output Sensor, a Serial UART or a Parallel Bus Interface.

The PROTO3 series of boards enables users to incorporate additional functionality to the Shimmer, providing an outlet to develop their specific application to meet their own user requirements. The PROTO3 boards allow easy prototyping of 3rd party sensors or custom sensing solutions with Shimmer.
