Tricorder Project Releases Prototype Open Source 3D Printable Spectrometer
upontheturtlesback writes "As part of developing the next open source science tricorder model, Dr. Peter Jansen of the Tricorder project has released the source to an inexpensive 3D printable visible spectrometer prototype intended for the next science tricorder, but also suitable for Arduino or other embedded electronics projects for science education. With access to a Makerbot-class 3D printer, the spectrometer can be build for about $20 in materials. The source files including hardware schematics, board layouts, Arduino/Processing sketches and example data are available on Thingiverse, and potential contributors are encouraged to help improve the spectrometer design."

It would be interesting to empress the engrams of the average trekkie upon a computer, the resulting torrent of illogic would be most entertaining.
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
This thread has a lot of nerdy topics: 3D printing, Star Trek references, arduino, electronics, open source, real-world science.
My question is: where the hell are the comments?
Too many readers are writhing in ecstasy. As soon as they recover they will be with us.
