In this paper, we present the design and implementation of our latest OpenVLC1.3 platform to perform research in Visible Light Communication Systems. We retain the advantages of the previous versions such as TCP/IP layers support, software programmability and low-cost front-end and increase the throughput at the transport layer to 400 kb/s (a factor of 4 with respect to the previous version) and the distance by a factor of 3.5. We further improve the software robustness of the system and reduce the size at similar hardware cost.
