1/8 🧵 Update on the Pocket #Spectrometer project. Been working on upgrading from the AS7341 to AS7343 sensor. The #AS7341 worked well but only had 9 channels. The #AS7343 offers 12 channels which should be better for #colorimetric analysis. #OpenSource 💡

Pocket spectrometer in comparison is only slightly larger than the cuvette itself

Look at the pocket spectrometer to appreciate how small it is

Connect AMS sensor with Grove-to-Stemma cable

These are all the components required to build the pocket spectrometer

2/6 The biggest upgrade is simplified assembly with plug-and-play connections! V2 uses
@adafruit.com's #AS7341 sensor with built-in Stemma QT connector, eliminating all soldering. Connect it to the #M5StickC with a Grove-to-Stemma cable and you're ready to go! #DIY #CitizenScience

3/6 The #AS7341 is a marvel - 10 spectral channels (350-1000nm), perfect for colorimetric analysis. All in a tiny package with LED control built-in!
