I have modified this project to send image using the same circuit and uses a modified version of arduino program used in this video. However the problem is that it takes a lot of time to transfer the image data. i have reduced the period to 2 and it is receiving data correctly but it is still very slow is there any way to reduce the delay in processing the bytes
Hi! Thanks for this video! I want to follow this and complete my project on LiFi Technology for my course in Masters degree. I really need your help. I just have a few queries. 1. How is the Potentiometer connected here? Can you please tell me which pins go where and to what they are connected? 2. Can I use Lazer-Photo Transistor instead of LED-LDR? 3. How can I connect the Arduino to the laptop and upload the code? Would I be able to find any other video for that? 4. Is it possible to use pair of LED-LDRs to make simultaneous communication between two laptops instead of one-way communication? Please suggest. I have a subject 'Transmission technology' in my course and I have selected this topic LiFi. Please help brother! We can connect via email/WhatsApp or any other platform. Thank you very much in advance!
number 4, yes it is possible, we created multiple versions based on this exact project. We created a custom protocol to send and receive files simulatonalsly. But we ended finally with using UART. You can use SPI as well. check OPENVLC.org for beagleboard, or nerdcorner for raspberry pi. You can use the arduonis as a modem, basically sending the data it receives and send to a laptop via UART.

Hello sir I have one doubt about the transmitter side what value of resistor you have used it seems small I mean smaller than 220ohm so please help me with this. Thank you
Hi so my transmitter (led light) and receiver can only receive the right message when I hold them in a certain angle, and I tried many different led lights and still can't solve the problem. BTW my led lights cannot provide visible lights under the code, is that the problem?
Hello, so it must be related to the threshold issue or perhaps your LDR is too slow. The first thing that you can do is to check that the first part of the code where we only test is if the led turns on when you press the button. If that part works well it means that your threshold is setup correctly, otherwise you should adjust the potentiometer until this part works well. If this is working correctly you can change the speed of transmission which you need to do for both the transmitter and the receivers, you need to change the TIME_PERIOD definition in both codes but make sure that you change them such that both have the same value. Increase the time period to make the transmission slower.
@@electronicsandprogramming9794 Thank You! So I did check the first part and adjusted the potentiometer, and now it lights up when the transmitter is transmitting the signal. However, the serial monitor still outputs rubbish letters unless there is some sort of pressure on both the led light and LDR in order for the correct message to show. I tried to changed the time period but the same problem happened. I check the frequency of the led light in the LDR light, it blinks at the same rate with/without pressure. Please help me out. Thank you so much

Hello. The transmitter does not have any serial output. It is expected to be like this. The reason it might not be transmitting is perhaps the thresholds are set differently. Each transmitter receiver pair must be tuned properly.

@@electronicsandprogramming9794 Yeah, I have completed the first part and successfully got the LED attached to the receiver to turn on when the transmitter LED is on.

Actually if we replace the photodiode with a phototransistor we should have a much higher frequency and more bandwidth. If speed is your concern just connect a photodiode to uart it would be much faster, bit-banging has its limits.
Yes, but I want detailing of the project. Can you please tell me how tgis can be implemented in real life? Which implemented practically what all will be the requirements?
@@rainakn8300 Actually, this setup is more academic than practical. The first thing you should do is to use a photo-transistor instead on LDR as the LDR is too slow for any practical speeds. Also it is not the best idea to use software bit-banging instead a hardware based solution would be better. As a matter of fact the UART of the Arduino can be used directly and the TX RX lines can be replaced with a fast led and a photo-transistor. If you really wanted to use on the street as a practical solution the best way would be to replace the physical layer of the OSI model from ethernet to a custom lifi based solution. If you are interested I can try to do that and make a video on it.
Didn't have a potentiometer so was trying this with just a 1k resistor -I had to change the threshold up to 400 to be accurate to the range I was getting out of the photocell- I am getting binary data transferred but it is not correct. It is consistently the same incorrect binary numbers corresponding with ascii characters- any suggestions? Really appreciate any ideas you might have thanks!
@@electronicsandprogramming9794 I have the same problem! The initial test goes well, but no matter how I change the threshold the characters do not appear in the serial monitor. Please help!
Hello. I think you will have to use potentiometer to change threshold of the ldr. If you don't have it, try to cover the LDR so that only the light of leds can reach it, like in a dark room

@@FahadAndFarrukh your video 's explanation is awesome. I want to know if we have to implement this on street lights how would it be like?
@@rainakn8300 Actually, this setup is more academic than practical. The first thing you should do is to use a photo-transistor instead on LDR as the LDR is too slow for any practical speeds. Also it is not the best idea to use software bit-banging instead a hardware based solution would be better. As a matter of fact the UART of the Arduino can be used directly and the TX RX lines can be replaced with a fast led and a photo-transistor. If you really wanted to use on the street as a practical solution the best way would be to replace the physical layer of the OSI model from ethernet to a custom lifi based solution. If you are interested I can try to do that and make a video on it.
hello can anyone help me please what is the name of this other module used in the circuit
Hello Sajjad, What module are you referring to?
@@electronicsandprogramming9794 i got i was talking about Arduino nano ,sir let me know i use both uno instead of one nano circuit will work
@@sajjadkhan-gc2gp Hey, Sajjad. It doesn't matter which one you use. As long as you use the same connections it should work. :)
@@sajjadkhan-gc2gp Yes it will work
Where can i change the text?
In the code there is a string around the top, you can change it from there.
@@electronicsandprogramming9794 do you mean the char text right?
@@EEffectStudio Yes indeed :)
Didn't have a potentiometer so was trying this with just a 1k resistor -I had to change the threshold up to 400 to be accurate to the range I was getting out of the photocell- I am getting binary data transferred but it is not correct. It is consistently the same incorrect binary numbers corresponding with ascii characters- any suggestions? Really appreciate any ideas you might have thanks!
also because of this higher threshold I tried slowing it down to 1000 as the period on receiver and transmitter and still not working
Were you able to get the first part of the code to work?
@@electronicsandprogramming9794 I have the same problem! The initial test goes well, but no matter how I change the threshold the characters do not appear in the serial monitor. Please help!
Hello. I think you will have to use potentiometer to change threshold of the ldr. If you don't have it, try to cover the LDR so that only the light of leds can reach it, like in a dark room

Your Voice is very low. I am listening on full sound volume
Hello, I tried to do this project but the serial moniter not show any thing why ? Can you help me please
