A 3D printable microscope and translation stage

The Sangaboard is a motor controller for unipolar stepper motors such as the cheap 28BYJ-48 motors. The custom board (v0.3) can be programmed and an Arduino Leonardo in the Arduino IDE. Versions 0.1 and 0.2 were based on an Arduino Nano.

A parametric design for a test rig for different combinations of LEE or Rosco gel filters allowing LEDs and photodetectors to be set up with different filter combinations and either a cuvette or capillary containing the sample.

A mechanical tester which uses a welded frame, some 3D-printed parts, an arduino, and a few other simple components. In prototyping stage. We hope to use the tester to test the mechanical properties of 3D printer filament and 3D printed parts.

An open source spectroscopic pyrometer which is simple to build and calibrate where it is needed. (Work in Progress)
