Using the Lighthouse deck for visible light communication (VLC)
Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2021 3:01 pm
Hi!
I want to use the Lighthouse deck to take advantage of the photodiodes (PDs) onthe board to do visible light positioning without the need of creating a new custom board. I see that the PDs have a good enough sensitivity response in the visible light spectrum and I want to log the received signal strength (RSS) of the four BPW34S. Would that be possible with the current board configuration? Is it possible to extract such information from the TS4231 by software directly? Would I need to re-program the FPGA?
I am a bit lost about the functioning principle of the HTC Vive stations, so any pointers on how to adapt the lighthouse deck to measure the light intensity received by the PDs would be appreciated.
