LED Comm

Project Description

The project I will be working on this semester is one that implements visible light communication. The basic idea is that several LEDs will communication to one another and be able to send a message. The LEDs will function as both a transmitter and receiver. A digital message will be converted to analog to allow the light from the LEDs to become the message and send to each hub for demodulation. The biggest challenge of this project will be overcoming the short distance of this type of communication system. LEDs are good at emitting light but can be difficult functioning as a receiver.

Deliverables

-Light implementation

-Detect light with LED

-Program micro-controller in MPLab

-Send a signal through LED

-Receive signal from other LED
