Choice of wireless module

Hi there,
I need to communicate readings of intensity values from a color sensor to my PC using arduino. I want to choose a wireless module between X Bee and Bluetooth. I don't need long range of distance and I want high transmission data rate.Moreover I want a cheaper one.I think Bluetooth is better choice because almost all PCs support Bluetooth. But I heard it is difficult to configure Bluetooth using arduino. Configuring X Bee is quite easy. What you think is good to go with?

Thanks in advance!!

You need to define what you meanby a high data rate. Neather are good at this.

If you get an XBee shield, you can plug in XBee modules as well as RN-XV wifi and
BT Bee modules, so you have a range of options.

I have hard time to connect high transmission data rate with color sensor.

What type color sensor?

What type color object you try to measure?

Try harder then.
There are a lot of colour to frequency sensors and the OP might be trying to send the output frequency.

maybe you could show us how to send output frequency of color sensor directly to PC via X Bee or Bluetooth. :wink:

I'm using TCS3210(Light to frequency convertor). I need data rate sufficient enough to transmit values of 16 sensors without much noticeable delay. I need a compact design and a cheaper one.

Thanks!

1 sample per second per sensor

the bits is needed for one sensor is 8bits (R), 8bits (G), 8bits (B), 8bits (Sensor address).
the total bits per sensor= 32 bits
The total data rate= 32*16= 512 bits/sec
It is not high data rate.
