Hello,
I started a new project with the almost extinct Trinket 5V, in short I want to hookup multiple sensors to multiple trinkets. Each trinket sends it's data back to the "server"(not sure what precisely ea. Raspberry or a similar microcontroller or a mini mac.), this server would read this data and do something with it of course. This would be with either pd or max/msp.
Before I explain my main problem, I would like to see if people can suggest me other hardware setups that would do the job better and easier or cheaper, can't have it all I know! 
Now I first started this project with Arduino and the serialRead possibility, but because it had to be smaller I went with the trinket of course stupid me the trinket doesn't work with the serialRead/Write. So the little work I done thus far was for pure non usage purposes. After looking for a cheap way for data transmitting I found this link which seemed nice. Building a Wireless Sensor Network in Your Home
And because I had this wondering around http://www.ananiahelectronics.com/FS100A.htm I thought let's look in on it. After reading comments about people having trouble with the range. I'm doubting to jump on this trail and "lose" tremendous amounts (keeping relativity in mind of course) of time.
Also the part of sending the data thru fm transmitters got me worrying of data loss, which in my case is kind off important for the pd or max patch.
So to sum this idea up I need following:
microcontroller for reading sensors and light a led on (which is actually stupid to sum up but hey)
wireless transfer to a microcontroller which can process about 6 or 7 of these sensor signals and send that data to either a build in PD (thinking raspberry) or max (mini mac).
This microcontroller should also be able to connect with an audio system or speaker module which would also be little to no problem.
So should I stay with my trinket-fmtransmit/receive and how would I read the data on the receiving micro controller. Lots of wondering. But I bet somebody can tell me to stick to my plan or another to tell me an easier and less complicated way or even somebody who want's me to burn on my electronics for asking such a long question for something very simple.
Anyway for now until I get reactions I'm still trying the fmtransmit/receive way. I'm in need of a level shifter for this, could I make this myself or am I better to buy such a thing.
This is it thus far for me, I made this a big question with nothing really concreet about hardware or software. But the idea is that this would be the page I return to when I have problems in the future for this project. If this is even allowed by the admins. O.o
