Trigger -> RF -> Bluetooth

[cpollo01]

Hello!

I am trying to build drum triggers using Piezo sensors.

I would like to do it wirelessly, would it be possible to do th
following:

Connect the Piezo sensor to a RF transmister which would send the signal
to a bluetooth reciever, which would then potential be picked up by a
iPod.

Thanks,

Corey Pollock

I don't know your goal but in my limited experience with remote

actuated music I have found latency to be a big problem. Musicians need
very fast feedback (by human standards). Milliseconds need to be watched
carefully.

But surely the issue is getting a signal to the iPod. There can't be many

ways that are approved by Apple. If it wsa the old days, I'd tell him to
use one of the control lines on a serial port, or use the parallel port,
but it doesn't have either. If it has USB, then something that hooks
there (I once suggested to someone who needed to interface to an early Mac
that they use the mouse), but then is the software arranged so one can
easily do that? If there's a Big Connector like on the iPod, there might
be something there, but I gather that's not really documented.

Ever try talking on a phone that echos your voice?
You will hear the stick hit the piezo and then hear the final output
later and get very confused. You will need to play before the other
music. Back to the future all over again.
