Abstract:
The project PC to PC fiber optic communication deals with data transfer from one computer to another. It uses C programming and the serial ports of the PCs. The ports are programmed in C. We use MAX 232 to convert RS 232 logic to TTL logic and then an optical transmitter circuit to transmit data via fiber optic cable. The optical transmitter circuit has a LED which is matched as far the cable and MAX 232 is concerned. At the receiver we have an optical receiver circuit which receives data using a photo transistor and a MAX 232 again to convert TTL logic to RS 232 for the serial port at the receiving end computer. The desired baud rate can be set using the program. For transmitting data the program is executed once and whatever is present at the serial port is sent to the other Computer via the fiber optic cable. At the receiver the program is executed to receive data on the serial port.
