What this episode covers

Mark Johnson, the anonymous creator of the open-source Raman Pi spectrometer, discusses building a low-cost Raman spectroscopy device using a Raspberry Pi, 3D printed parts, and off-the-shelf components. He details the technical challenges of aligning optics, selecting a linear CCD over the Raspberry Pi camera module, and managing the intense documentation and video production required for the Hackaday Prize. Johnson also shares his background in electronics surplus and his fascination with high-voltage hobbyist projects like fusors.

    Ep 240: An Amazing 3D Printer, A Look Inside Raspberry Pi 5, and Cameras, Both Film and Digital

    Elliot Williams and Dan Maloney review a week of hardware hacks, highlighting a custom Raspberry Pi RP1 peripheral chip that offloads Southbridge functions to an older 40nm process, and a novel cable-driven 'Marionette' 3D printer by Deedza Cat that uses strings and winches for motion. They also discuss a film-to-digital SLR adapter by I'm Back Film, an automated home hydrogen generator by Hyperspace Pirate, and a deep dive into microphone tonal characteristics by Jim Lila. The episode covers the engineering trade-offs of these projects, from the RP1's development costs to the mechanical complexities of cable tensioning.
