> Just out of curiosity, are you: > a) using lenses to focus your LEDs? Yes, I did. I was trying on a 6 degree collimator. > b) using lenses to focus your receiver? > c) using long tubular light shields on your receiver? Yes, to both. I think it is quite a decent set. > d) using modulation of some sort on your LEDs? > e) using AC coupled, high gain, demodulation stages on your receiver? Not yet, when I tune the receiver to be insensitive to daytime light, it can pick up my beam 10m away. If it is tuned to be sensitive to my beam, the daytime light saturated the Rx. > Most of the above will also be needed with lasers as well. > What baud rates are you hoping for?
