With increasing demands for faster and more secure wireless communications, there is a pressing need for a new medium of wireless communication as the radio spectrum is already crowded. Visible light is a medium that can address both of these needs. It is a relatively new technology with great potential. This project was completed to develop a working visible light communication system and demonstrate the transmission capabilities of such a system. This year’s team set a goal to surpass the previous year’s team in transmission speed, range, and size. Of these goals, transmission speed and range were both achieved, while the transmission of a large audio file was deemed not possible based off the difficulties the team encountered while processing large amounts of data.
