Description

Seem like nobody is using Flatbed Scanner, until google told me it's already 10 years old news http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?113038-flatbed-scanner-spectrometer-idea
Photos: Basically rainbows and then more rainbows... workbench(quite small), TCS3200(quite big)

Scroll down to project log for YouTube Videos
4. Incoming Data, Diffraction grating, Rainbows, Love & Peace, going back to hacking GinScope.
3. Projecting Spectrum, moving servo by hand, stepper
2. Colourifying "White" Flatbed Scanner light
1. Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3, 4k

Related to: https://hackaday.io/project/19374-ginscope for data logging
Will be back with Scanner teardown and hacks and lasers (if I can manage get some)
After GinsScope acquisition system in place
FFTs to be expec

ONsemi ignored me, so I suspect they do not provide ic samples to hackers!
Interesting pitch by ONsemi and ability to position itself against the mega trends. Beware, the material is confidential!
ONsemi claim to be "One of the 2017 World's Most Ethical Companies", - very good if they are, but TL;DR

2 Colourifying "White" Flatbed Scanner light
Gintaras Valatka • 02/23/2017 at 05:51 • 0 comments

Scanner warming up, scan, then 240 fps SlowMo + Shake, then back to normal speed for comparison ('normal' assuming 39.178488fps, as was uploaded to youtube)
FlickeRing Lights, when paused - individual colours can be observed
If Lucky, catch split colours, as if the light was caught travelling, see the screenshot :D
So if the lightsaber is white, is it made of rgb? :D
(no uber tHz/fps cam was used)
