A VLC system consisting of a transmitter and a receiver was constructed, and a serializer/deserializer using 8B13B coding was implemented on an FPGA. The data modulated onto the LED light were generated by a Raspberry Pi and transferred to the FPGA via SPI communication. The communication performance was evaluated in an outdoor environment exposed to sunlight, with a transmission distance of 3 m between the transmitter and the receiver. As a result, the packet loss rate for packets consisting of 893 bits was 10−4–10−5.
