Active LED Illumination: Wireless Communication

Background

• Talk about Camera
• Talk about LED Experiments

You can use subsections if you like. Below is an example of a retinotopic map. Or, to be precise, below will be an example of a retinotopic map once the image is uploaded. To add an image, simply put text like this inside double brackets 'MyFile.jpg | My figure caption'. When you save this text and click on the link, the wiki will ask you for the figure.

Once you upload the images, they look like this. Note that you can control many features of the images, like whether to show a thumbnail, and the display resolution.

Design Goals

• Enable multiple programmable light sources for experiments

Figure 4

• Synchronous wireless trigger that can handle 500fps speeds

How it works

Combine efforts of both transmitter and receiver

Components and Cost (Bill of Materials)

Transmitter

1. Arduino Pro Mini - $9.95 [product]
2. Parallax Transceiver - $39.95 [product] [datasheet]
3. 74AC157 Multiplexer - $0.15 [product] [datasheet]
4. 3 56Ω resistors
5. 2 3-pin headers (0.1" spacing)
6. 3 Green LEDS - [datasheet]
7. Perfboard - $5.95 [product]

Total Transmitter Cost: $56

Receiver

1. Arduino Uno (or cheaper alternative)- $29.95 [product]
2. Parallax Transceiver - $39.95 [product] [datasheet]
3. 74HC138 Demultiplexer - $0.35 [product] [datasheet]
4. 4 150Ω resistors
