Raspberry Pi Spectrometer
« Back to Spectrometry
This page collects efforts to develop a Raspberry Pi (#raspberry-pi) based spectrometer, building on Public Lab (and others') open source DIY spectrometer designs.
Design goals
The Raspberry Pi camera (especially the version 2 camera) is very sensitive and good resolution, very inexpensive (<$20), has very low baseline noise, and is extremely configurable.
Software
You can now download ready-to-use camera software on our Pi Builder page.
Questions
Questions can be either frequently asked questions, or "next step" challenges we're looking to solve.
