Abstract

Underwater communication system utilizing Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) technology for transmitting audio and data. The system addresses limitations of traditional methods by leveraging an Arduino Uno microcontroller for control, lasers for data transmission, and solar panels for reception. To enhance received audio signals, an amplifier circuit is employed before feeding them into a speaker for playback. Data is recovered and processed on the receiving end using the Arduino Uno. This research explores the feasibility of Li-Fi for underwater applications. The paper details the design and development of the communication system, including hardware components like lasers, solar panels, amplifier circuits, and speakers, along with the software implemented on the Arduino Uno. The results focus on the successful transmission and reception of both audio (heard through the speaker) and text data processed by the Arduino Uno. This work paves the way for further development of Li-Fi based underwater communication solutions for various applications.
