Demo: Off-the-Shelf Bi-Directional Visible Light Communication Module for IoT Devices and Smartphones
Résumé
In this demonstration, we propose a line of sight bi-directional communication system between an ordinary LED and an off-the-shelf smartphone. We designed a cheap multi sensors device as a proof of concept of a near communication module for the Internet of Things. To illustrate a typical use case, we have programmed the micro-controller to broadcast the sensors values and the battery level using the LED. The same LED, reverse-biased, is also used as receiver to get some data, without the need of additional hardware modifications.Also, thanks to the the serial bus, the board can be connected to an embedded device, such as a Raspberry Pi, to serve as a VLC module, offering numerous IoT applications.On the other side, a user with his smartphone and our An-droid application can then retrieve the transmitted information , or send a configuration command thanks to the flashlight , letting him change the color of the RGB LED.
