Well, here we go..! I'm getting some good progress on the python software for the remote terminal... So far it works in linux and windows both... The source is up in the gitHub...

Simple...just put your sample in, and click 'getSpectra'... once it's finished, it displays the spectra and you have the option of posting the data to plot.ly (soon others like phant).. You can also save the spectra to a file as .png (very near future .csv)... The dial allows you to set the exposure time... To the left are some boxes that allow you to choose which internet spectral database to pull spectra from for identification, and a list of compound types for identification...

Here's a screenshot of the user interface...
