Request for a new Spectrometer Click board

[Stuartk]

Please have a look at this new micro spectrometer module:

These new micro spectrometers would make a wonderful addition the click board lineup. It would be much more flexible then a color sensor as you can get a full light frequency/Intensity graph for the tested light source.

It's pretty cool how they work by spreading the spectrum out over a CMOS linear image sensor using a micro-diffraction grating.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your suggestion.
I will pass it to our hardware developers and they will certainly consider it.

Best regards,
Marina

Hi Stuartk, very interesting product. Do you have any information about where it can be buy and for how much ?

[Toley]

Just as a follow up, I've been in contact with one of their representative and I can tell you theses sensors are way too much expensive for a click board .

[Stuartk]

Hi Serge,

I came across it web surfing, but I don't know how much they cost.
What did they say it went for?

Regards,

Stuart

The model you are refering too is one of the less expensive and it is detailed around $250 us.

[Stuartk]

I agree it's expensive. I'd still buy it though.

Perhaps they will see it as an opportunity to seed new previously unconsidered markets and give ME a bulk discount.

You never know....

In case anybody wants to purchase one of these units for experimentation there is a group buy presently underway in order to purchase it at a somewhat reduced cost:
