TRANSMISIÓN Y RECEPCIÓN DE TEXTO MEDIANTE LUZ VISIBLE DE LEDS Y SENSOR DE LUZ (TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION OF TEXT USING VISIBLE LIGHT AND A LIGHT SENSOR)

Sergio Sandoval Reyes

Resumen


La comunicación por luz visible o VLC por su acrónimo en inglés (Visible Light Communication), emplea luz proveniente de láseres, o bien de diodos LED (Light Emitting Diode), para transmitir información analógica como audio y video, o digital como texto e imágenes. La VLC puede utilizarse como un medio transmisor ubicuo de información, dado que los dispositivos que producen luz (lámparas de interior/exterior, semáforos de tráfico, anuncios luminosos, faros de vehículos, etc.), se utilizan en todas partes. La transmisión de la información se realiza modulando la intensidad de la luz (la modulación de información digital es más difícil que la analógica). En el receptor la información es inicialmente recobrada a través de un sensor de luz, que suele estar conectado a una computadora y/o microcontrolador para la recuperación final de la información. En este artículo se detalla como aportación, una aplicación basada en VLC para transmitir texto empleando módulos LED y sensor de luz de LittleBits, modulación OOK (On-Off-Keying), y una computadora Raspberry Pi programada en Python. El texto consistió de la frase “Hola Li-Fi”, repetido muchas veces. La transmisión-recepción del texto por luz, sólo se pudo realizar a distancias menores a 10 cm. Se encontró que la intensidad de los LEDs, la sensibilidad del sensor de luz, la alineación entre ellos, así como la luz ambiental, influyen en la recepción de la información.

The communication by visible light or VLC by its acronym in English (Visible Light Communication), uses light coming from lasers, or from LED diodes (Light Emitting Diode), to transmit analog information as audio and video, or digital as text and images . The VLC can be used as a ubiquitous transmitter of information, since the devices that produce light (indoor / outdoor lamps, traffic lights, illuminated signs, vehicle headlights, etc.) are used everywhere. The transmission of information is done by modulating the intensity of the light (modulation of digital information is more difficult than analog). In the receiver the information is initially recovered through a light sensor, which is usually connected to a computer and / or microcontroller for the final recovery of the information. In this article, an application based on VLC to transmit text using LED modules and light sensor from LittleBits, OOK (On-Off-Keying) modulation, and a Raspberry Pi computer programmed in Python is detailed. The text consisted of the phrase "Hello Li-Fi", repeated many times. The transmission-reception of the text by light, could only be done at distances less than 10 cm. It was found that the intensity of the LEDs, the sensitivity of the light sensor, the alignment between them, as well as the ambient light, influence the reception of the information.
