Hello!
I'm working on a project where I want to transmit data from a circuit wirelessly at a short range (< 20 ft) with low latency (< 50 ms). The circuit should be mobile (may move anywhere in the 20 ft range), but I'd like to process the data at my stationary desktop. I am currently using an Arduino to sample data from my circuit and send this data to my desktop for processing. However, I'd like to be able to sample and transmit this data without using an Arduino. I'm not quite sure if this is possible, but I'd love to get some feedback and help in finding potential resources.
One solution I've considered is using an ADC to sample my analog output, and sending this digitized signal to an RF transmitter. The transmitter would then send the signal to to a receiver connected to my desktop via USB.
Is this possible (does it even make sense)? Is connecting an ADC to my circuit equivalent to "sampling" the circuit? Does connecting an ADC to my circuit make it compatible with an RF transmitter? Can anybody point me towards specific transmitters and receivers that might handle this? If it's not possible, what other components do I need to include in my design?
This is my first time posting on this forum, but following others' threads has been a great help in the past. Thank you for any help and advice you can offer!
