Design and Construction of a Low-cost DIY Spectroscope
The objective of this final year project was to develop the hardware and software implementation of an affordable DIY optical spectrometer to improve the accessibility of optical spectroscopy techniques for science educators and enthusiasts. Existing literature on DIY spectrometry and Raspberry Pi gadget development is explored in the thesis. The acquired knowledge was utilized to design and build a Raspberry Pi Zero based spectrometer from low cost and 3D printed parts. The spectrometer software was developed as a client-server web application providing a web-browser based user interface for the device. The successful completion of the project demonstrates the feasibility of the development of a DIY spectrometer with resolution and sensitivity approaching those of a commercial solution, while example use cases of the developed device analyzed in the thesis demonstrate the usefulness of the final product. Additionally, limitations of the project were identified, and possible future improvements explored. In conclusion, the outcome of this project should help low budget science educators and enthusiasts to develop their own spectrometry devices to expand the outreach of experimental physics and engineering outside of commercial or institutional environments.
