Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing - Assignment 5

Course: Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing
Institution: ETH Zurich
Semester: Winter 2022/23
Collaborators: Mélina Sladic, Lukas Probst

Overview

This repository contains the project for Assignment 5 in the Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing course at ETH Zurich. The project was developed as part of my exchange semester in Winter 2022/23 in collaboration with Mélina Sladic.

Project Description

In this assignment, we implemented a Visible Light Communication (VLC) system using Arduino and Python. The main goal was to create a chat application that transmits messages via visible light, showcasing the potential of VLC technology as an alternative communication method.

The project involved:

• Setting up a VLC channel using Arduino to send and receive data through LEDs.
• Developing a Python-based chat application that facilitates text-based communication over VLC.
• Exploring the limitations and challenges of VLC, including data transfer rates, noise interference, and light modulation.
