%X The
latest uproar in this era is about a technology termed as Light Fidelity or
more commonly known as Li-Fi. There are currently two trends being seen:<span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">First, the extension or enrichment of wireless
services and other</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">being
increase</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">d</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> in
user demand for these services, but the available RF spectrum for usage is very
limited. So the new technology of Li-Fi came into picture,</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">which uses visible light as a source of
communication. Li-Fi is the most recent development which is</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">resourceful. In this technology, LEDs are used to
transmit data in the visible light spectrum. This technology can be compared
with that of Wi-Fi and offers advantages like increased accessible spectrum,
efficiency, security, low latency and much higher speed. This research paper
aims at designing a Li-Fi transceiver using Arduino that is able to transmit
digital data. The hardware has been designed using Eagle CAD</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">(version 7.1.0)</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">tool and Proteus</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">design tool (version 8). The software coding is done
by using Java</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">(version
8). Successful transmission and reception of text, image and video signals is
carried out on the transceiver. Hence this research work gives an</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">innovative way of designing a transceiver which
works by using off the shelf low cost components and using visible light
spectrum.</span>
