We are doing a project on Visible Light Communication(VLC) using MSP430. Our project is about sending data from one laptop to another using VLC.
At the transmitter end, msp430 is connected to TLC5916 which is a LED driver. This driver has 8 output LEDs. The serial data from MSP430 is converted to parallel in the LED driver and output is through LEDs. This data in LED is received by the photodiode OPT101 at the receiver.
The doubt that we have got is, can the photodiode detect the data as the data is coming from the 8 LEDs or can it detect data from only one LED at a time? Is it possible to send the data from the driver through only one LED?
