How to choose a low latency shock sensor USB controller?

Question

Arduino

Greetings, I've already googled everything, please help.
The task is to create a prototype of an inexpensive device for practicing drums. A training pad in which piezo sensors will be installed and this signal must be conveyed to the computer.
Very critical - signal delay. Is it possible to assemble such a device from the available DIY solutions.
Already looked towards arduino, raspberry and other interfaces - it's all cool, but expensive - as a final solution. The hardware part itself is so primitive - it's just to catch the signal from the sensor and register it in the program, that it's unreasonable to install a mini computer for this)))
I would be very grateful if you give me an idea where to dig. Thank you!

Answer 1

Just the same on Arduino, this will be the most inexpensive option. From iron: Arduino + piezo sensor + USB cable to the computer. Transfer rate on the virtual COM interface: 115200 bps. Those. per second, you can transmit information about 115200 beats!

Answer 2

A homemade device will most likely be unusable due to too long delays.
If an arduina for 300 rubles is too expensive for you, it is better to abandon the idea.
A lot of people struggle with the problem of audio delays, trying to find combinations of software and hardware.
On music forums, discussions of various interfaces and drivers that give minimal delays are popular. Up to the point that some people switch to Linux with RT kernels.
