The project aims to implement the design of VLC circuit for the real-world application of wireless data transmission. It covers the use of white LEDs and commercial photodiode in order to perform the data transmission. The project started with the simulation of the circuit design by using NI Multisim to show that the circuits applied were relevant and producing the desired outcomes, which were then applied onto the breadboard to show that the design is working. The final output of the project, which is the prototype, is expected to transfer the input data from one laptop to the other laptop by only utilizing the data transmission method of VLC. Some improvements were made later to further improve the prototype.
