TeraHz
*This project is currently at a standstill because SparkFUN stopped making one of the board this project needs. TeraHz will return in a better form some day!*

TeraHz is a low-cost portable spectrometer based on Raspberry Pi and a few
commonly available sensor breakout boards. It's designed to bring low-cost
scientific exploration of the light spectrum to educational institutions that
cannot afford the options available on the current market. It costs less than
200€ with money to spare and uses only free, libre and open-source software
(FLOSS). It is free to use under the ISC license, a spiritual successor to the
classic 3-clause BSD license.
## How to install
Stable releases are available under the releases tab and can be installed either
by flashing a **preinstalled** ready to boot image with a stable version of
TeraHz preinstalled or by flashing a **preconfigured** image of DietPi and
installing TeraHz manually, which is useful if you want to test bleeding edge
releases. For more information, check out the [Build
guide](https://terahz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build/).
## Docs
TeraHz usually works out of the box. A wireless network named `TeraHz_XXXXXX`
(XXXXXX = the last half of the MAC address) will appear. Password is
`terahertz`. After connection, open a web browser and visit `terahz.site`.
The UI will appear. To fetch data from the sensors, press the 'Get Data' button.
The readings are then plotted and written into the tables below the graph.
