Ever wanted to completely optically isolate a project or communicate using light? Learn the basics of fiber optics communications while you build this exciting Fiber Optics Kit from the MakerShed. Transmit your voice or 1kHz signal through the fiber optic cable to a fiber optic receiver. Transmitter and receiver are on separate boards and can be located hundreds of feet apart! 2 9V batteries not included.
The Maker Shed is brought to you by Maker Media, the makers of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Faire, and much more.
Launched originally as a source for back issues of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Shed expanded rapidly to meet the demand for 'projects in a box,' otherwise known as kits. Now we have a little bit of everything for makers, crafters, and budding scientists, from Arduinos to sock monkeys to chemistry sets .
