Support Public Lab Today!
For the last twelve years, Public Lab has hosted SpectralWorkbench.or...
Public Lab is an open community which collaboratively develops accessible, open source, Do-It-Yourself technologies for investigating local environmental health and justice issues.
PLOTS Spectral Workbench is the client software for the video spectrometer, and can be found here:
https://github.com/jywarren/spectral-workbench
It is in alpha, though with some configuration it should run on Linux, Mac, or Windows. It is free and open source (GPLv3) and requires the open-source Processing environment. Click the "zip" download to get a copy.
It uploads spectra to the open source spectral database at:
http://spectrometer.publiclaboratory.org (may be renamed)
The website is a place to archive, share, and interpret spectral data. By uploading spectra to the website, you agree to release the data under a Creative Commons Zero license (the equivalent of a Public Domain dedication), which allows for unrestricted use by anybody.
Currently, anyone may comment on any spectrum -- the idea is that users will help one another collect better data, will collaborate on interpreting data, and will build a large shared resource of well-documented spectral data.
As the website progresses, we hope to add features such as the ability to average sets of spectra, to compare readings in graphed formats, and to do pattern-recognition matching of similar spectra.
Development
Both the server codebase and the client are available at https://github.com/jywarren/spectral-workbench. The server is written in Ruby on Rails, and the client is built in Processing
The software is in need of a great deal more work, so if you are interested, please get involved! Contact jeff@publiclaboratory.org or just ping the mailing list.
Tutorials
Video tutorials on how to use the software are coming soon.
