LSM9DS1 Accelerometer Wireless Communication

Hello all,

I am currently working on an immersive art project in which accelerometer data from a performer's prop is being used to alter aspects of sound being played. I have been able to create the necessary code/circuit to take in accelerometer readings from the prop, though only when it is wired to the serial port. I have done extensive googling to try and find a quick hardware addition to make it work wirelessly, but I have not been successful in this.

Has anyone used the accelerometer wirelessly in the past? Is there a quick and easy piece of hardware to make this transition or will it require a revamp of the code to accomodate such a use?

For background, I am using the guide described here to connect the sensor to an arduino mega (though the guide shows an arduino metro) with the premade arduino code provided for the sensor to make readings through the serial port

Thanks

For 2 way wireless communication between Arduinos, I like the rf24 radios. Robin2 has a good simple rf24 tutorial that will get you started.

Another option is to use a wireless serial link. You don't need to change your program at all.

There are lots of different options, but the HC-12 seems to be popular and reliable.

You won't get the (mis)advertised range with the idiotic spiral antenna shown in the link, if ever.
