|
|
+ [__AS7265x__](https://www.tindie.com/products/onehorse/compact-as7265x-spectrometer/)
|
|
is a 18 channel spectrometer chipset that provides the device with spectral data
|
|
+ [__VEML6075__](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15089) is an
|
|
UVA/UVB sensor
|
|
+ [__APDS-9301__](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14350) is a calibrated illuminance (lux) meter that provides the device with reliable readings
|
|
|
|
## Why?
|
|
Because people and institutions could use an affordable and accurate light-analysing device that is also portable, easy to use and simple to assemble. TeraHz was started as an answer to our high school not being able to afford a commercially available solution. One TeraHz spectrometer costs around 150$ in parts, which makes it a competitive alternative to other solutions on the market today.
