Spectruino, the first open UV VIS Spectrometer

Spectruino is the first open source, Arduino based spectrometer. Third generation is the lightest yet, built from Aluminum frame and EPDM light foam, it can withstand the extremes of Stratospheric missions, or the comfort of your home or robotic class. It measures sunlight, albedo, LEDs, lasers and has even been used for Raman spectrometer construction.

Attention: Spectruino 3 does not include calibration!

Calibration for wavelength is optional and sold separately, as some customers prefer just pixel readings!

Spectruino spectrometer comes with light intensity vs. pixel # output as a standard, i.e. uncalibrated.

If you would like light intensity vs. calibrated wavelength output, please add this service to your order. You will receive a calibration .txt file and installation instructions for the software. The calibration file only works with your individual device. If more devices are ordered, several calibration files shall be selected.

Mechanical and CAD Design

Mr. Roman Adámek has decades under his belt and is expert second to none in all things related to metal designing, prototyping and production. In the past, he worked as the chief of mechanical workshop at the Faculty of Architecture and Design of Slovak Technical University. His advice to students was always to the point, aiming at the preparation of students for real life conditions, meaning constraints in space, manufacturability, engineering time and budget. Because what good is a superbly designed product, if nobody can manufacture it for the benefit of the intended user?

Mr. Adámek takes pride in reconstruction of old folklore architecture, and combines the century old exterior with innovative, self designed interior elements, mostly made of wood and metal combined with novel electronics for lightning or swimming pool automation.
