Shimmer
Consensys 200g IMU Development Kit
Shimmer3R IMU kit with an added high-g accelerometer that measures up to 200g, for impact and high-force event detection.

Overview
The Shimmer3R 200g IMU measures motion forces of up to 200g. It is built on the standard Shimmer3R platform, so it keeps 9 DoF inertial sensing through the accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and altimeter, and it is fully compatible with existing Shimmer3R hardware and the Consensys software. First built for custom projects, it is now available to all customers. The kit includes a one-year ConsensysPRO licence.
Built for
- Concussion and head trauma detection
- Blast and high-impact detection
- Sports science
- Structural monitoring
Key features
200g measurement
An added high-g accelerometer measures up to ±200g for impact and high-force events.
