The Wi-microDig is a thumb-sized easily configurable hardware device that encodes upto 8 analog sensor signals to multimedia industry compatible messages with high resolution and transmits these messages wirelessly to a computer in real-time for analysis and/or control purposes.

Sensitive in real-time It has 8 inputs of each 10 bits resolution (1024 steps of each 5mV) that can sample at upto 1500 Hz with milliseconds latency to capture even the finest gestures and movements. Use it conveniently with our sensors to create your interactive installation, ultimate controller, .. For hardware hackers, the Wi-microDig features a hardware hacking area to add your own sensor circuit.

Wireless The wireless transmission complies with the Bluetooth standard (using the WIDCOMM or Microsoft Bluetooth protocol stack, but not the Bluesoleil stack), which is a common and reliable protocol and at 115 kbs much faster than MIDI speed. The wireless range is guaranteed upto 10 meter without obstructions, but we've already used it without problems at 50 meter ! It allows for the use of upto 7 Wi-microDig units simultaneously so it's easy to make a wireless sensor network.

Configurable It's updateable firmware v5.0 enables it to operate in both stand alone mode (sensor data is processed before it is transmitted) as well as host mode (raw sensor data is transmitted). Stand alone mode includes various sensor processing and mapping features such as gesture recognition that can be conveniently configured using one of our editors.

Compatible Even though it encodes sensor signals to multimedia industry compliant MIDI messages, you don't necessarily need to use a MIDI interface. You can use the Wi-microDig also with software that communicates with devices through a virtual serial port (called "COM" port on a Windows computer). In this case you don't need to connect to the BlueMIDI application, unless you want to use our editor, but you can use the Bluetooth virtual serial port. Also, note the Wi-microDig's I²C capability which is one of the more common bi-directional communications protocols used in robotics for sensors and actuators - connect upto 4 I²C devices to it.
