Will a wireless transceiver be needed? I am using the CMUcam5 along with an Arduino UNO Rev3. I would like to send information received to an Android phone/tablet via WiFi.
Hi Bryan,
Pixy does not have wireless capabilities built in, so if you need to send data via WiFi from the Arduino then yes, you’ll need a WiFi shield.

Would we be able to use other wireless transceivers other then the ones sold on the Arduino website. Like the nRF24L01 Wireless Transceiver
Hi Bryan,
You may use whatever wireless transceiver is compatible with your given Arduino board. Looks like there is an interfacing guide on the Arduino website “here”:http://playground.arduino.cc/InterfacingWithHardware/Nrf24L01 for the nrf24L01. Just have Pixy send the block data to your Arduino, then using the Arduino send it to the wireless transceiver.
