Build Your Own 10Mbit/sec Optical Data Link

redcliffe writes: "This website has complete plans to build a 10 megabit per second optical data link that can work over up to 1 kilometre. It uses fairly cheap components, such as standard LED's instead of laser diodes. This also makes it a lot safer to work with, i.e. you won't burn your eyes out if you accidently look into it."

Ahh, this is great. Three or four posts discussing the "kilometre" vs. "kilometer" issue, and not one who noticed "over up to".
