This repository contains Python code for a homemade spectrometer that uses a standard webcam for light detection. The spectrometer analyses light spectra and provides data on various wavelengths using a simple and affordable setup. This project is ideal for educational purposes, DIY enthusiasts, or anyone interested in building a basic spectrometer.
- Webcam-Based Detection: Utilises a common webcam to capture light spectra.
- Spectral Analysis: Processes and analyses the captured light data to produce a spectrum.
- Visual Output: Displays the results in an easy-to-understand format.
- Hardware:
- A standard webcam
- A diffraction grating (to separate light into its component wavelengths)
- A light source (e.g., LED, lamp)
- A stable mount or holder for the webcam and diffraction grating
