Hello,
I'd like, for a uni project, to have two sensors to measure the acceleration of a pair of stilts in stilt walking performances. Since I don't want to destroy hardware nor kill performers I think going wireless would be the best.
That said, I'm really new to this and have basically zero clue.
I've found this older post for a similiar project in which a radio board was suggested. Will it do for me too?
And also, where do I find info on how to set it all up?
I'm sorry for the maybe stupid questions, I just have stepped into this and feel disoriented
The Adafruit Feather modules with radios are fine choices for the project and Adafruit provides outstanding getting started guides.
You don't need a LoRa radio module. Those are best for long distance, low data rate communications.
Thanks for the answer!
I'm still not too sure about the pipeline here. I hate to ask for handholding like this, but what is a general idea of how to implement this?
I mean, what are the components I need? (not specifically, just a summary)
I'm guessing a feather module with radio (wifi/bluetooth) and the accelerometers, plus something else to complete the transmit/receive chain I think?
Two compatible radio modules are required for radio communications.
Don't forget that WiFi and Bluetooth are radio, so the options include an Arduino compatible board with either of those, sending data to a cell phone or laptop. You'll need a battery power option as well.
There are even a few boards that have an accelerometer (or IMU) along with Bluetooth or Wifi, for a simple setup. But if you are a complete beginner, plan on taking a considerable amount of time to get all of those working together.
