Lahksman Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 9, 2016 #1 Hi guys I need to lurk some more info out of this forum I'm facing the following situation. There are 2 sensor array's which are not interconnected. But I need to combine the data of both sensor array's simultaneously and in real time. None of the sensor array's are connected (or can be connected) to an existing internet connection. what type of connection is best used?

Beja Expert Licensed User Longtime User Feb 10, 2016 #2 Can you explain more? What kind of sensors do you have? what's the IO interface of the sensors? the communication protocol if any... etc....

Lahksman Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 10, 2016 #3 This setup is still theoretical at this moment. The sensors will be air pressure sensors. It's not yet defined which sensors, but it will be build into the air suspension of a semi-truck. I don't really know yet what type of sensors are on the market.

Cableguy Expert Licensed User Longtime User Feb 10, 2016 #4 I would go with a combination of Arduino and a RX/TX 433Khz modules and connect them using SPI. Main advantage would be that you could install any combo Arduino 433Kh modules and interchange them. One issue to deal with would be the proper identification of each sensor array so that 2 or more semi's would not interfere with each other

rbghongade Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 10, 2016 #5 Zigbee based wireless sensor network seems to be one possible solution.
KMatle Expert Licensed User Longtime User Feb 10, 2016 #6 I prefer http://www.esp8266basic.com/ The ESP8266 is about 3-5€ and has build in WiFi. For sensors flash esp8266 Basic (see the examples there). You can do simple httpcalls with httputils in B4x. ZigBee is cool but too expensive

Lahksman Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 10, 2016 #7 Thx guys I'll be looking into the different options. Probably I'll have some additional questions once I get all the details of this project.
