I was reading today, that in Gernmany by Siemens and Fraunhofer, researchers managed to build a 500Mbits / second home link over 5 meters by using a white LED as transmitter... That makes me wonder, are those white LEDs and I think they are in fact blue with some phosphor, easier to switch?
It is something I could try.... What sort of detector is best for white LEDs??

I dunno, I was sort of thinking I can do this better with my RGB LED strips, by modulating the blue.
I wonder if colored blue LED's plastic will filter the other light enough so it can be used as a receiver, also if LEDs are sensitive enough as detector.
Just finished (yes really, the FLASH is about full) an other version of my IO_PIC. This one has a build in thermostat, a clock, and 2 programmable timers to set for example day and night time temperature. The whole thing uses 1.5 mA when not driving some load. That means battery or even capacitor backup for power glitches is easy, the clock would keep running, other settings are saved in EEPROM. Amazing what you can get in a PIC16F690.

IO_PIC.
for example day and night time temperature.
That certainly looks interesting, internal Vref, and 16 KB FLASH, no pages, hardware multiplier, why 16 banks or 256 bytes data memory? They say it is for speed :-) but that depends on how often you have to switch banks, as that adds an instruction for each bankswitch. Maybe those banks can be used as local vars in subroutines.... It can write to its own FLASH, nice, bootloader....
It will take me some time to dig through that datasheet.

Oh well... I guess if you program it in C you would not notice perhaps. I am used to those banks now, so is the US population, oh wait, those are other banks, these banks seem more reliable.
Na, that is with everything, better good documentation then none.
Probably "old" vs "new." I have and use v5.05 of Adobe's Acrobat tools. I have NOT purchased a newer version, though. I also have v9 of the Reader. Some of the PDF files I've been downloading, recently, read just fine with the newer Adobe free reader program but provide just that message, including the "could not be repaired" error, when the v5 reader starts on it. Worse, v5 will often _destroy_ the file so that v9 can no longer read it.
..is there such a thing as INDISCREET multi-tone modulation, that is to say instead of fixed bands, fixed phases, time slots, fixed frequencies, the use of pseudo-random combinations?
Um... he means something other than the human eye. Look up with google, "eye diagram" together with "communications" and "modem" and probably "trellis" or "trellis diagram" and maybe also "constellation diagram" to help narrow the results a bit.
Opens just fine with Acrobat v7.1.0 ...Jim Thompson
