This project is currently at a standstill because SparkFUN stopped making one of the board this project needs. TeraHz will return in a better form some day! Za slovensko različico se odpravite na http://git.sckr-lab.tk/kristjank/TeraHz
TeraHz is a low-cost portable spectrometer based on Raspberry Pi and a few commonly available sensor breakout boards. It's designed to bring low-cost scientific exploration of the light spectrum to educational institutions that cannot afford the options available on the current market. It costs less than 200€ with money to spare and uses only free, libre and open-source software (FLOSS). It is free to use under the ISC license, a spiritual successor to the classic 3-clause BSD license.
Stable releases are available under the releases tab and can be installed either by flashing a preinstalled ready to boot image with a stable version of TeraHz preinstalled or by flashing a preconfigured image of DietPi and installing TeraHz manually, which is useful if you want to test bleeding edge releases. For more information, check out the Build guide.
TeraHz usually works out of the box. A wireless network named TeraHz_XXXXXX
(XXXXXX = the last half of the MAC address) will appear. Password is
terahertz. After connection, open a web browser and visit terahz.site.
The UI will appear. To fetch data from the sensors, press the 'Get Data' button.
The readings are then plotted and written into the tables below the graph.
