Abstract

A simple computer interface for controlling a compact spectrograph for use as a spectrophotometer in an undergraduate teaching laboratory was developed. The project was implemented on a Raspberry Pi computer which permits the integration of a light source into the software. The interface was written in Python to facilitate modification by the user and because of its compatibility with several computing platforms. An implementation of the project in Linux on a Raspberry Pi computer is described.
