Summary of ramanPi – Raman Spectrometer
This open-source project details a 3D-printable Raman Spectrometer designed for accessibility. It leverages a Raspberry Pi as the central controller, paired with Arduino-compatible ARM boards for processing. The system utilizes a high-intensity laser and various off-the-shelf components available from retailers like eBay, Adafruit, SparkFun, and Mouser. By combining these elements with 3D printing, the design offers a cost-effective solution for spectral analysis without requiring specialized industrial equipment.
Parts used in the RamanPi Project:
- Raspberry Pi
- Arduino compatible ARM boards
- Bright laser
- 3D printed components
- Off-the-shelf electronic parts (sourced from eBay, Adafruit, SparkFun, or Mouser)
