Has anyone tried to use Kleer wireless with Propeller to transmit audio?

    I assume you mean one of their wireless modules (they also sell wireless headphones).

    I haven't seen any Propeller projects that use a Kleer module.

    Mark_T has used a Nordic nRF24L01+ to transmit audio.

    Which Kleer module where you wondering about? Do you have to buy the modules directly from Kleer? I couldn't find any for sale at the usual electronics suppliers.

    Yes, I meant one of the Kleer modules, specifically KLR3012 from smsc.com. I was unable to contact the company as they're closed weekends. I did a little searching after my last post, and I believe I have concluded that Kleer is out of business as their websites and blogs have been removed, and kleerav.com says so (not sure if this is their official website). I was inquiring about their products because of the cd quality, lossless audio, which I wanted to use to transmit .wav files from CPU to speakers wirelessly. Is there another product that would complete this task? I didn't think XBee could do the trick, would the Nordic nRF24L01+ be the way to go?

    The Nordic chips are used for audio transmission:

    The nRF24L01+ could be used for lower quality audio.

    Thanks Leon and Duane, I'll look into the Nordic chips, I hadn't heard of them till now and hopefully they should be what I need or at least could use.

    I didn't know about the nRF24Z1 chips. Thanks Leon.

    daill1, there's a link to inexpensive nRF24L01+ modules in post #1 of my index. There's link in post #2 to my nRF24L01+/Propeller driver. I used Leon's C code as a starting point for my driver.

    DIY Embedded sells boards with the nRF24Z1 chips.
